Square Butte Creek and Otter Creek meander through the Missouri River valley in this early 1960s study of central North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the uplands down to the fertile river bottomlands, where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the water. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the small community of Harmon and the residential area of Glenview. Education in this rural expanse was historically divided between district landmarks like Square Butte School No 1 and Square Butte School No 2. Of significant archaeological and historical interest is the Double Ditch Indian Village situated on the eastern banks of the Missouri River, marking an ancient Mandan earthlodge site that predates the modern agricultural and rail infrastructure shown here.
