1965 Map of Twin Buttes School

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The rugged divide of the Prairie Co Custer Co border defines this 1960s landscape of eastern Montana. This cattle-country terrain is shaped by the headwaters of numerous drainages, most notably Hay Creek, Finley Creek, and Crow Rock Creek, which carve deep coulees through the high plains. The map records a sparse but organized rural infrastructure centered on education and water management, highlighting the Twin Buttes Sch in the north and Hartwick Sch in the southwest near Grimes Creek. These small schoolhouses served isolated ranching families before the consolidation of rural districts. Distinctive landmarks such as the Twin Buttes and Muster provide vertical relief in an area where topographical features were essential for navigation. Agricultural life in this arid region is further evidenced by the Hamlick Reservoir and the splitting forks of North Fork Bachelor Creek and South Fork Bachelor Creek.
