1956 Map of Cottonwood Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Archambault Creek and Black Horse Butte Creek define the drainage patterns of this prairie landscape within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. This 1950s survey, updated with late 1970s photogrammetry, reveals a sparsely populated ranching and mining area. Rural education and local industry are marked by the Gopher Sch and a Strip Mine located along an unnamed drainage. The presence of Berry Dam in the north highlights the importance of water management in this arid region, while the network of creeks like Meadow Creek suggests a terrain shaped by seasonal water flow across the Missouri River Basin.
