1997 Map of Moline School

About this map

Charbonneau Creek and Antelope Creek define this landscape in rural North Dakota, where the late twentieth-century economy is shaped by the cattle ranching of the Little Missouri National Grassland and the energy production at the Box Car Butte Oil Field. The presence of the Moline School (Site) near the western margin provides a locational anchor for a former rural community center, while the Highland Ch stands south along the Twelfth Standard Parallel North. Family ranching persists at locations such as the P Nygard Ranch near the southern boundary. Topography is dominated by distinct formations like Box Car Butte, which sits in a transition between the drainage of the West Branch Charbonneau Creek and the broader grazing lands. The map also documents industrial infrastructure, including an extensive Pipeline and various oil wells scattered throughout the central and eastern sections.
