1973 Map of Black Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Chalky Butte dominates the central portion of this southwestern North Dakota landscape, rising above the drainage systems of West Sand Creek and East Sand Creek. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Boulder Point and Browns Hill which overlook the winding tributaries of Deep Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching environment where section lines are occasionally traced by a Jeep Trail, leading toward significant topographic landmarks such as Black Butte, Tepee Butte, and Slide Butte. This area of Slope County showcases the intricate erosion patterns and scattered Gravel Pit sites typical of the regional geography before modern large-scale development shifted the rural character.
