1983 Map of Three Buttes Creek East

About this map

Three Buttes Creek and its tributaries define this corner of Richland County in the early 1980s. The landscape is characterized by its drainage network, with the eponymous Three Buttes Creek winding through the southern sections while Charlie Creek and Timber Creek cut through the northern reaches. Evidence of rural infrastructure is found in the scattering of grain bins and isolated structures that dot the high ground between the watercourses. Social and industrial history is captured in small but significant markers, including a local Cem and several Gravel Pits that suggest local road maintenance and construction activity. The map provides a detailed look at the section lines and township boundaries, such as the divide between T 24 N and T 23 N, which is essential for researchers tracking land ownership and property history in this part of the Great Plains.
