1956 Map of Black Horse

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Grand River meanders across this mid-century landscape within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, serving as the central geographic feature for the small settlement of Black Horse. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Lodge Creek, Louse Creek, and Little Soldier Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the river valley. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Liberty district includes the isolated Pleasant View Sch, a localized hub for the rural community during this era. Prominent landmarks such as Clay Butte provide navigational points in a region largely characterized by its open, grassy expanses and sparse development. This survey, updated with 1970s aerial photography, documents a period before significant modern changes, preserving the locations of remote schools and creek crossings essential to the local ranching economy.
