1963 Map of Hungry Man Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Hungry Man Butte anchors this landscape in the western Dakotas, rising above a terrain defined by the drainages of the Knife River and Crooked Creek. This early 1960s survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a sparsely settled frontier along the border of Billings and Dunn counties. The presence of the Snow Sch suggests a rural community centered around local education and ranching, even as the vast majority of the land remains dominated by natural topography and watercourses like Horse Creek. The map provides a look at the section lines and unimproved dirt roads that dictated travel and land ownership in this region of North Dakota before modern infrastructure intensified. Notable landmarks like Rocky Hill served as orientation points for residents navigating the expansive cattle country typical of the era.
