1987 Map of Miles Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Bearpaw Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, rising to prominent points at Miles Butte and Iron Butte. This terrain in Blaine County is defined by the complex drainage systems that carve through the high ground, with Maggie Creek and O'Bryan Creek flowing north toward the more level plains. The presence of a Landing Strip near the western edge suggests the continued importance of aerial access in this remote ranching and grazing country. In the central part of the quadrangle, McCann Butte stands as a distinct landmark north of Peoples Creek, which meanders across the middle of the sheet. Further north, the landscape transitions into the deep cuts of the Little Box Elder Coulee, reflecting a dry, eroded environment where water sources like various named Spring locations were essential for livestock and settlement.
