1984 Map of Table Butte

About this map

The Rocky Boys Indian Reservation dominates the center of this Montana landscape, covering the northern reaches of the Bearpaw Mountains. Topography here is defined by deep drainages and high points like Table Butte, where the North Fork Gorman Creek and South Fork Gorman Creek converge. The survey reveals a sparse but functional infrastructure of the late twentieth century, including a remote Coal Mine situated near the head of Coal Mine Coulee and scattered Grain Bins that speak to the region's agricultural use. To the south, the terrain levels out toward the winding paths of Big Sandy Creek and Frenchman Creek, illustrating the transition from upland ridges to the broader plains of Chouteau County.
