1997 Map of Rocky Ridge South

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in Slope County, where the sprawling public lands are interspersed with isolated private holdings. The region's economy and social structure are defined by established homesteads like Petri Ranch, Peterson Ranch, and Franklin Ranch, which sit alongside the drainages of Philbrick Creek and First Creek. Mineral extraction is evident in the northern portion of the quadrangle at the Uranium Pit, while scoria, a material often used for surfacing local ranch roads, is harvested at the Scoria Pit near Sand Creek. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Rocky Ridge down into the wide expanse of Peaceful Valley, where the Peterson Dam and White Lake provide essential water resources for cattle and wildlife in an otherwise semi-arid prairie environment.
