About this map

Stocke Butte rises above the drainage basin of Cherry Creek in this late twentieth-century survey of western North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the intersection of rural township governance and federal land management, with the Town Hall serving as a central landmark for the surrounding Elsworth district. Local life and history are anchored by institutions like the Zoar Ch and the adjacent Zoar Ch Cem, alongside the Red Wing Sch located near Red Wing Creek.

The southern portion of the map transitions into protected federal territory, including the Little Missouri National Grassland and the rugged northern reaches of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Unit). This area, which includes the Theodore Roosevelt Wilderness, illustrates the conservation efforts that preserve the Badlands environment. Survey markers like the Fifteenth Guide Meridian West and Twelfth Standard Parallel North provide a glimpse into the structured grid system of the Great Plains.
