1983 Map of Standing Butte SW

About this map

Sansarc Creek carves a winding path through this Stanley County landscape, reflecting the isolated ranching life of central South Dakota in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The map highlights the sparse settlement pattern of the region, anchored by family-named operations such as Rose Ranch, Olson Ranch, and Barrick Ranch. These outposts are connected by a thin network of unimproved roads and a notable powerline corridor that traverses the drainage basins of the North Fork and West Fork Minneconjou Creek. A solitary Landing Strip at the Rose Ranch and scattered Historical Markers suggest a territory where distance is managed by air and heritage is marked along the road. The terrain is defined by the complex interlocking ridges and draws of the Missouri Plateau, captured here just as modern digital photogrammetric methods were being integrated into USGS provisional mapping.
