1974 Map of Petes Creek

About this map

Killdeer Mountain State Game Management Area occupies a significant portion of this terrain in western North Dakota, straddling the boundary between McKenzie and Dunn Counties. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and prominent ridgelines, including the Dillinger Divide and Eisenhower Divide. These high points separate numerous watercourses such as Petes Creek, Russian Creek, and White Tail Creek, which carve deep into the plateau. Local industry and land use are evidenced by a Scoria Pit and multiple Gravel Pits, while a lone Grave stands as a quiet marker of early human presence in this sparsely settled region. The presence of Rhoades in the southwestern corner suggests early ranching or family-named landmarks established before modern development.
