1980 Map of Capitol

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through this borderland region where the Black Hills Meridian marks the transition between Carter County, Montana, and Harding County, South Dakota. The settlement of Capitol serves as a local focal point, supported by the Capitol Sch and a nearby Cemetery. This area of the Great Plains is defined by its series of dramatic river bends, such as Lupe Bend, Harring Bend, and Petes Bend, along with distinctive topographic landmarks like Indian Butte and Three Peaks. The landscape is etched with numerous ephemeral drainages including Sand Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Forty-eight Mile Creek, reflecting a land shaped by water and wind. Scattered ranching infrastructure is evident through the presence of Sky Ranch and designated Landing Strips, which underscore the vast distances of this high-plains geography during the late twentieth century.
