1979 Map of Sentinel Butte SE

About this map

Sentinel Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Golden Valley County, overlooking a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the western North Dakota plains. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the terrain shows a sparse but deliberate human imprint focused on ranching and early energy exploration. The map reveals a network of watercourses including Fisher Run and the North Fork Garner Creek, which cut through the high prairie. Scattered resource extraction points are noted by several Well sites and a specific Flowing Well in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a few named thoroughfares like South Square Butte Road and Garner Creek Road, while a lone Landing Strip in the southern section provides a critical link for this secluded ranching country.
