1980 Map of Capitol

About this map

The Little Missouri River snakes through this high plains landscape on the border of Montana and South Dakota, creating a series of dramatic meanders and landforms. The small community of Capitol serves as a focal point, featuring the Capitol Sch and Capitol Cem positioned near the river's path. The topography is defined by the river's erosive power, which has carved out named features such as Lupe Bend, Harring Bend, and The Island. Away from the water, the terrain rises into prominent landmarks like Indian Butte and Mud Butte. The area’s ranching character is evident through the presence of several Landing Strips and local water management features like the Davis Reservoir. Dozens of ephemeral drainages, including Forty-eight Mile Creek and Sand Creek, feed into the primary river valley, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region.
