1979 Map of Snake Butte

About this map

Spring Creek Sch sits as a lone marker of local education in this sparse landscape along the Powderville Road. The terrain is defined by its namesake landmarks, including the prominent Snake Butte, Chimney Butte, and Twin Buttes, which serve as natural signposts across the expansive drainage basins of Spring Creek and Meadow Creek. This map illustrates the transition from Custer to Powder River counties, showing a landscape punctuated by utility and infrastructure features like Wells, a Gravel Pit, and various Drill Holes. The network of watercourses, including Butte Creek and Foster Creek, underscores the geographic isolation and the importance of localized water sources in this region of eastern Montana during the late 1970s.
