1972 Map of Square Butte
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The tiny settlement of Square Butte sits at the base of the massive landform that shares its name, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul And Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the Montana plains. This 1970s landscape is defined by its sharp vertical transitions, from the high plateau of the Square Butte Bench to the dramatic Chalk Cliffs and the erosion patterns of Big Coulee. Agricultural infrastructure is evident in the scattered Storage Bins positioned along the rail corridor, suggesting a grain-handling economy that relied on the rail line for transport.
