1966 Map of Morgan Butte

About this map

Morgan Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude section of the Fremont National Forest, where a network of trails and jeep tracks connects various springs and meadows. The Chewaucan River winds through the western half of the terrain, flanked by significant elevations like McComb Butte and the Parker Hills. Local history interest centers on Whitehouse Place and the naming of features after early settlers, such as Brattain Butte, Ennis Butte, and Myers Meadow. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including Marsters Spring near a designated Campground, and Buckaroo Spring to the south. This 1960s survey documents the intricate drainage systems of the region, from Coffeepot Creek to the curiously named Schoolhouse Fork King Creek.
