1974 Map of Flat Rock Butte

About this map

Flat Rock Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this mid-1970s landscape of western McKenzie County, where the drainages of Poker Jim Creek and Bennie Pierre Creek carve deep through the Badlands terrain. The map documents an area defined by its rugged topography and active resource extraction, with numerous industrial markers including an Oil Well, a Drill Hole, and multiple Scoria Pits scattered across the township lines of T 146 N and T 145 N. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are shaped by the headwaters of Cinnamon Creek and the N Fk Prairie Dog Cr, showing a remote and sparsely settled region where land use is primarily dictated by the underlying geology and natural watercourses.
