1953 Map of North Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Pumpkin Butte and the prominent North Butte rise sharply from the Campbell County landscape, anchoring a region defined by high-plains ranching and sparse water sources in the early 1950s. The presence of the Christensen Ranch and Pfister Ranch, along with the small settlement of Heidt, illustrates the remote agricultural character of this Wyoming territory. A private Landing Field south of North Butte highlights the necessity of air travel for connecting these isolated homesteads. The drainage network, including Willow Creek and the South Prong Pumpkin Creek, carves through the terrain from landmarks like Pistol Point and Dome Butte. These intermittent draws and scattered springs were critical for sustaining livestock in an area where permanent water was a scarce resource.
