1968 Map of Scoffin Butte

About this map

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary marks the northern edge of this landscape, where the prairie begins its transition into the high plains of the Pondera and Teton County line. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and permanent waterways, including the winding course of Birch Creek and the headwaters of Scoffin Creek. At the center of the survey stands Scoffin Butte, a prominent landmark overlooking a territory primarily used for ranching and water management, evidenced by the presence of the Tedson Reservoir and a nearby Gravel Pit. Local life in the late 1960s centered around isolated infrastructure such as the Terryahn School and the straight-line transit of Sevenmile Lane, illustrating the vast distances between rural Montana homesteads and essential community services.
