1972 Map of Square Butte NE

About this map

Flat Creek winds through the northern portion of this Montana landscape, cutting across the broad terrain simply labeled Flat. The area is characterized by the stark transition from high tablelands into the deeply eroded drainage of Cut Bank Coulee, which dominates the southeastern quadrant. This 1972 field-checked survey reveals a sparse, functional infrastructure focused on resource extraction and remote access, featuring a localized Gravel Pit and several Well sites. The presence of a dedicated Landing Strip in the southern section underscores the vast distances of Chouteau County, where aviation served as a vital link for agricultural or industrial operations far from established town centers.
