1972 Map of Square Butte SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Square Butte Bench dominates this high-plains landscape in Chouteau County, where 1970s land use reflects a mix of dryland agriculture and aviation infrastructure. The map reveals a community centered around the Square Butte Bench Cem and the nearby Community Building, appearing alongside Hawarden Hall. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage features including Phantom Coulee, Bank Coulee, and Big Coulee, which cut through the level benchland. The presence of multiple Landing Strip sites and various Landing Strips suggests the importance of light aircraft for managing this expansive Montana territory. These agricultural markers, including scattered Storage Bins and a Flowing Well, document the rural economy as it functioned shortly after the 1971 aerial photogrammetric survey.
