About this map

Rhame serves as the focal point of this southwestern North Dakota landscape, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The settlement's infrastructure in the 1970s is well-documented, featuring a Water Tank, Sewage Disposal Ponds, and distinctive Storage Bins that reflect its agricultural and logistical importance. The surrounding countryside in the townships of Rhame and Adelaide is defined by a network of drainage systems including Spring Creek, Coyote Creek, and Medicine Pole Creek, which flows near the prominent Medicine Pole Hills to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers such as Tuttle Cem and the Post Office Butte landmark. The map also records localized industry and recreation, from numerous Gravel Pits and a Scoria Pit to the community Rodeo Ground and a local Landing Strip. This survey preserves the exact placement of fence lines and section boundaries during a period of established ranching and rail transport in Bowman County.
