1979 Map of Oliphant Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Powder River meanders through this portion of Powder River County, Montana, carving a wide valley floor marked by seasonal crossings and local landmarks. The landscape in the late 1970s is characterized by its agricultural and transit features, including the Jurica School and several Landing Strips situated near the riverbanks. The Powderville Road serves as the primary artery through this territory, connecting remote sites like Sixmile Crossing and the prominent Oliphant Butte. Numerous intermittent watercourses, such as Rough Creek and Slaughter Cherry Creek, drain into the main river valley from the surrounding breaks and ridges. This map documents a period when local navigation relied on specific points like the Ford and specialized landmarks like the Flowing Well, illustrating the practical geography of rural Montana ranching and transit before the turn of the century.
