About this map

The Pumpkin Buttes dominate this Campbell County landscape, reflecting a time when the Atomic Energy Commission took a keen interest in the region's geological potential. These prominent landmarks, including Indian Butte, Middle Butte, and the primary South Butte, served as essential navigational markers for ranchers and early settlers. The settlement pattern here is defined by isolated family operations, such as Hardin Ranch and Ruby Ranch, linked by a network of unimproved dirt roads that follow the drainage basins of the Belle Fourche River and All Night Creek.
