1974 Map of Kid Rich Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kid Rich Butte and the surrounding high plains of the North Dakota and South Dakota border region appear here in the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Grand River and the larger Grand River, which cut through the open terrain of Scott and Hettinger. Transportation and utility infrastructure are concentrated in the northern portion of the map, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad runs parallel to a series of sewage disposal ponds and a local pumping station. Elevated landmarks like Castle Butte and Big Butte provide distinct navigational points across the otherwise steady elevation of the flat country. Cultural development is sparse, represented primarily by the Hettinger Country Club and various scattered wells, indicating a region largely dedicated to ranching or resource extraction during this era.
