1974 Map of Hootowl Creek SW

About this map

Saddle Butte dominates the southern landscape of this 1970s western North Dakota survey, where the township boundaries of Elmwood and Delhi meet. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Elk Creek and Little Beaver Creek, which wind through a patchwork of rangeland and resource extraction sites. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by a central Townhall and scattered industrial activity marked by various Scoria Pits, Gravel Pits, and a Drill Hole. This map provides a clear record of the rural land divisions and the physical features of Golden Valley County before modern shifts in land use, documenting the precise locations of water sources like a named Spring and numerous wells used by ranchers and early residents.
