1972 Map of Black Horse Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Standing Rock Indian Reservation Boundary marks the western edge of this landscape, where the topography is defined by the prominent Black Horse Butte. Located on the border of Corson and Perkins counties, the area is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages including First Creek, Second Creek, and Black Horse Butte Creek that weave through the Delaney and Twin Butte terrain. The small settlement of Athboy serves as a lone focal point in this high plains environment, which is largely shaped by the natural contours of the land rather than dense development. Mapping reveals a quiet rural economy indicated by a scattered Gravel Pit and the presence of Darling Creek and Beef Creek in the south, suggesting a landscape primarily dedicated to open range and resource extraction during the early 1970s.
