About this map

The Old Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary angles across this portion of Emmons County, marking a significant historical line of demarcation in the North Dakota landscape. This 1971 survey reveals a terrain defined by subtle watercourses and prominent rises, including the distinct Rattlesnake Butte which stands as a landmark above the surrounding plains. The drainage patterns of Badger Creek and the steep contours of Devils Gulch characterize the local geography, while the broad Buchanan Valley occupies the eastern portion of the sheet. The map serves as a precise record of rural land divisions and section lines just south of the state capital region during the early 1970s, capturing the area before modern agricultural or infrastructure changes altered the surface features and old military boundaries.
