1971 Map of Huff

About this map

Huff stands on the western terrace above the Missouri River in this 1971 survey, just as the regional landscape was adjusting to the formation of Lake Oahe. The map documents a rugged upland terrain defined by isolated high points such as Ambulance Butte, Signal Butte, and Rattlesnake Butte, which served as critical landmarks for early navigation and surveying. A significant historical marker, the Old Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary, cuts across the landscape, preserving the footprint of 19th-century frontier defense long after the fort's active years.
