1952 Map of Squaw Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Squaw Butte rises as a central landmark in this 1952 topographic study of the Missouri River Basin development area. The landscape of Fremont County is defined by the winding course of Muskrat Creek and the intricate drainage of Chalk Hills Draw, illustrating a terrain where water management was critical for survival and industry. Human footprints are sparse but significant, marked by isolated infrastructure such as a Windmill and a remote Well. The map provides a look at early transportation routes through the scrub, including Scotty Road and Clark Road, which likely served ranching interests or early basin surveys. One notable insight into the changing utility of the land is the presence of a Ditch (Aban'd) near the southern creek bed, suggesting former irrigation or mining efforts that had already fallen out of use by the mid-twentieth century.
