1971 Map of Kiefer Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kiefer Buttes dominate the central landscape of this Emmons County area, surveyed by photogrammetric methods from 1969 aerial photography. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent rises including Hall Hill and Lookout Butte, which stand as landmarks above the surrounding prairie. This 1971 field-checked map illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural and grazing region where the most significant features are the natural formations and the drainage systems. Cattail Creek meanders through the northern and central sections, while the South Branch and Becker Lake define the southeastern corner. The absence of established towns or rail lines emphasizes the rural, open-range character of this part of North Dakota in the early 1970s, making it a valuable record of the physical geography and land divisions defined by the section lines of Township 130 North.
