1997 Map of Alpha

About this map

Alpha sits at the heart of this Badlands landscape, surrounded by the high plateau terrain of Bullion, Garner, and Lone Tree. The map captures a sparsely populated region of the Little Missouri National Grassland where the economy is defined by expansive ranching and energy infrastructure. Local historical markers include the Randash Sch and a small Cem near the settlement of Alpha, providing essential waypoints for genealogists tracking family ties to these prairie homesteads. Further south, the Remillong Ranch remains a notable landmark near the drainage of Bullion Creek. The map also traces the path of a significant Pipeline and Pipeline Road traversing the northern sections, reflecting the modern industrial layers superimposed over the traditional grazing lands of the high plains.
