1961 Map of Rocky Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves through the heart of this landscape, flanked by a complex system of plateaus and badlands in Slope and Billings Counties. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a region defined by its distinct landforms, including the high ground of Cliffs Plateau and Hanley Plateau, alongside the broad Peaceful Valley. Notable geologic activity is marked by the presence of Burning Coal Veins near the river, a characteristic feature of the North Dakota badlands. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the Rocky Ridge Sch and White Lake Sch No 1, which served the ranching families scattered among the breaks. The economy of the era is evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit, while the rugged drainage network of North Fork Bull Creek and Whites Wash illustrates the challenging topography of the Rocky Ridge area.
