About this map

Scotch Cap and Bison dominate the northern landscape of this Perkins County region, surveyed during the early 1980s. This area is defined by its topographic ridges and drainages, where the meandering course of Rabbit Creek flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Smaller watercourses like Smith Creek branch through the eastern sections, while scattered Wells indicate the essential water infrastructure required for ranching and homesteading in this prairie environment.

Industrial activity is noted near the southern border with the presence of Gravel Pits, reflecting the local extraction of resources. The map identifies specific locales such as Vickers, Duell, and Hall, which represent the established land divisions and landmarks of the high plains. This provisional edition provides a clear view of the rural township structure, showing the section lines and unimproved roads that connected these remote points before the turn of the 21st century.
