1905 Map of Devils Tower

About this map

Devils Tower National Monument anchors the southern portion of this landscape, which was surveyed just as the nation’s first national monument was established. The terrain is defined by the high plateaus and deep drainages of the Black Hills and the winding course of the Little Missouri River. Early ranching life is evident through remote outposts like Yeasts Ranch and Hulett Ranch, while the small settlement of Hulett serves as a rare pocket of concentrated habitation along the Fourche River.
