1968 Map of Sand Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sand Buttes anchors this portion of Rosebud Co. during the late 1960s, a landscape defined by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage systems such as Sand Creek and Coad Creek, which feed into various man-made catchments vital for livestock in this semi-arid environment. At the southern edge of the quadrangle, the Bailey Ranch stands near the Bailey Reservoirs, marking a focal point of local agricultural activity. To the northwest, the Fisherman Day Reservoir and its associated Fisherman Dan Coulee highlight the importance of water management in the rural West. This survey, based on 1966 aerial photography, preserves the exact locations of isolated ranch buildings and numerous named coulees, offering a record of the remote cattle-country layout before modern developments.
