1972 Map of Bear Butte

About this map

Bear Butte stands as the central landmark in this 1970s McKenzie County landscape, where the high plains of western North Dakota are carved by a complex drainage system. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Antelope Creek and Cherry Creek in the north, while the southern reaches are marked by the seasonal flow of Docs Draw and Red Wing Creek. This period of the 1970s shows a quiet rural landscape punctuated by local industry and community markers, including the Gullickson Gravel Pit and a isolated Tank serving local agricultural or ranching needs.
