1973 Map of Camel Butte

About this map

Adelaide Hills rise above the high plains of Bowman County in this 1970s topographical record. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Skull Creek, Horse Creek, and the North Fork Grand River, which carve through the prairie terrain. Rural life is anchored by small community centers such as Bethany Ch and local education hubs including Nebo Sch and Langberg Sch. Prominent natural landmarks like Camel Butte and Long Grassy Butte serve as navigational anchors in a region where the economy is driven by energy and infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and scattered Gravel Pits. The map also traces the legal geography of the era through the township boundaries of Adelaide, Nebo, and Langberg.
