1982 Map of Simons Butte

About this map

Simons Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this eastern Montana landscape, where the high plains meet a complex network of drainage systems. Located along the boundary of Dawson Co and Prairie Co, the area is defined by the intricate winding of Cabin Creek and its many tributaries, including Hay Creek and Ash Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment during the early 1980s, marked by scattered water sources such as a Flowing Well and several generic Well sites essential for life in this arid climate. A small Cem is located near the center of the sheet, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists or local historians tracing early inhabitants. The drainage patterns of Huey Creek and its South Fork further illustrate the erosion-carved topography that characterizes this part of the state.
