Antelope Butte and Roaring Spring Named in Montana History
Antelope Butte in Teton County near Lewistown is a landmark named by H L Halladay around 1886 and noted by Ora Knowlton in 1940. The passage recounts a 1859 battle near Antelope Butte along the Pend d Oreille Trail with Piegans and west side tribes, graves along the Pend d Oreille Trail, and notes on the name Pend d Oreille later linked to Pondera. Roaring Spring is a noisy spring by Swift Reservoir with a name dating before 1937 and tied to settler John Pfeiffer.
