1972 Map of Pretty Rock Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Pretty Rock Butte and the surrounding high plains of Grant County are captured here during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its topographic high points and the seasonal watercourses that drain them, including Morris Creek, Snake Creek, and Brush Creek. A sense of the local community center is visible at the Townhall, while the presence of the Pretty Rock Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated township. Notable landmarks like Beer Bum Hill and Round Top stand out as distinct physical markers against the section-line roads that organize the prairie. The map reflects a quiet era of North Dakota ranching and farming, where distance between neighbors was measured by these named buttes and intermittent stream beds.
