1970 Map of Roosevelt Creek East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park (Elkhorn Ranch Site) sits at the heart of this landscape, marking the historic grounds where the future president ranched in the North Dakota badlands. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Missouri River, which is fed by numerous drainages including Blacktail Creek, Roosevelt Creek, and Mikes Creek. This 1970s survey documents a working landscape where ranching history meets the early infrastructure of energy extraction, evidenced by an Oil Well and Drill Hole in the eastern hills. Notable landmarks like Black Top Butte rise above the river valley, while a mapped Ford across the river and several Flowing Wells highlight the importance of water access in this arid environment. The map captures the physical layout of the Elkhorn Ranch vicinity before modern developments altered the character of the river corridor.
