1969 Map of Three Buttes

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide, curving path along the northern edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between Roosevelt and Richland Counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Day Creek, Elm Coulee, and the aptly named Hardscrabble Creek, which carve into the high ground south of the river. A Gaging Sta sits near the riverbank, documenting the hydrology of the Missouri River Basin during a period of active regional water resource development.
