About this map

Alpha sits at the heart of this Western North Dakota landscape, straddling the border between Golden Valley and Slope counties. The settlement pattern reflects the open ranching and farming character of the era, punctuated by essential infrastructure like the Randalash Sch and a local Cem. The drainage of Bullion Creek carves through the distinct plateaus of Garner, Lone Tree, and Bullion, while numerous entries for Well and Flowing Well underscore the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. A solitary Landing Strip near the northern edge suggest the vast distances involved in travel and logistics during the late twentieth century. This survey, based on 1973 photography, documents a network of fence lines and improved roads that define the rural economy before modern expansion.
