About this map

The Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary marks the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Missouri River valley's historical military influence meets the expansive upland plains. This 1971 survey captures a sparsely populated section of Emmons County characterized by the meandering courses of Horsehead Creek and Badger Creek, which carve through the Prairie View terrain. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated rural homesteads and agricultural legacy, evidenced by family-linked sites such as Gimble Cem and Meckle Cem. To the south, the map details the northern margins of the Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge, including the wetland environment of Sunburst Lake. The drainage network, featuring several unnamed springs and the prominent Spring, illustrates the vital water sources required for sustaining cattle and crops in this high prairie environment.
