1982 Map of Red Top Butte

About this map

Red Top Butte and Jackrabbit Butte rise as prominent landmarks in this eastern Montana landscape, where the drainages of Beaver Creek and Lame Steer Creek carve through the high plains. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region during the early 1980s, characterized by isolated homesteads and essential community hubs. Rural life is anchored by institutional landmarks such as St Philip Ch and the South Center Sch, which served the families living along the winding banks of Duck Creek and Lone Tree Creek. Natural resources and small-scale industry are evidenced by a Gravel Pit and numerous Well sites scattered across the township, while Horse Point marks a distinct geographic feature in the western portion of the quadrangle. This detailed topographic study preserves the placement of property boundaries and section lines that define the organized settlement pattern of Wibaux County.
