1971 Map of Barren Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Barren Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Sioux County landscape, situated within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a topography defined by the drainage network of Porcupine Creek, which meanders through the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. Produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, the map documents a sparse, open territory primarily used for grazing and traditional land use. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the enduring rural character of this region south of the Cannonball River, where the relief of the butte serves as one of the few significant geographical markers in an otherwise undulating terrain of the northern Great Plains.
