1955 Map of Packsaddle Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Packsaddle Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this mid-century survey of the Sweet Grass country, overlooking the transition from the high northern plains to the timbered slopes of the Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system including Greycliff Creek, Silver Spring Creek, and the distinctive Bear Chip Coulee, which all contribute to the watershed south of the Yellowstone River. Evidence of early infrastructure and ranching access is visible through features like the Footbridge and the remote West Bridger Station located along West Bridger Creek. The northeastern corner of the map captures a vital transportation corridor where the Burlington Northern railroad follows the river's path. This map provides a detailed view of the Forest Boundary and the various gulches, such as Overfelt Gulch and Norwegian Gulch, that carve through the local topography.
