1976 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

About this map

The Missouri River corridor south of Bismarck is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Oahe and the surrounding high ground of the Missouri Plateau. This mid-1970s documentation reveals a landscape where modern water management meets deep frontier history, most notably evidenced by the Old Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary cutting across the terrain. The map captures the small community of Huff near the southern edge and the isolated Manning School No 1 further north, reflecting the sparse, rural settlement pattern of Burleigh and Morton Counties.
