1966 Map of Squaw Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Blackfeet Indian Reservation land defines this section of Glacier County, where the high plains meet significant topographic rises. The namesake Squaw Buttes dominate the southwestern quadrant, providing a notable vertical contrast to the northern Flat terrain. This mid-1960s landscape shows a transition toward modern infrastructure, centered around the Cut Bank Airport in the northeast and a scattering of natural resource extraction points, including an Oil Well and multiple Gravel Pits. Water is scarce, channeled primarily through seasonal drainages like Spring Coulee Creek and Spring Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching and industrial frontier, where fine fence lines crisscross the open range, marking the intersection of traditional reservation lands with twentieth-century aviation and petroleum interests.
