1980 Map of Cactus Creek East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through this remote borderland during the early 1970s, carving a complex network of oxbows and channels across the landscape. This survey documents a quiet rangeland where the Black Hills Meridian defines the boundary between Montana and South Dakota, as well as the line between Carter County and Harding County. The terrain is defined by a dense web of seasonal drainage, including Cottonwood Creek, Bickerdyke Creek, and the headwaters of Beaver Dam Creek. Evidence of local resource extraction is limited to a single Gravel Pit near the river, while several Ford crossings indicate the historic routes used to navigate the river before modern infrastructure. The map preserves the specific hydrography of the high plains, from the winding path of Everson Creek to the various forks of the Missouri, reflecting the rural character of this intersection of the American West.
