1972 Map of Fort Clark SE

About this map

Sherk Creek and the meandering Square Butte Creek define the drainage patterns of this Oliver County landscape during the early 1970s. The terrain is characterized by dissected uplands and significant elevation changes, notably marked by the prominent Ring Hill in the southeastern quadrant. This area remains largely rural, with the centrally located Yucca Cem serving as a primary cultural landmark and point of interest for genealogists tracking early families in this portion of North Dakota. The cartography reveals a highly organized township system, specifically tracking the boundary between T. 142 N. and T. 141 N. across the center of the sheet. The absence of major settlements highlights the agricultural and ranching character of the region during this era of survey.
