1974 Map of White Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific tracks run along the border between North and South Dakota, providing a clear industrial artery through this high plains landscape. The settlement of White Butte sits along this line, just south of the White Butte Reservoir. Further east, the small community of Petrel is marked by a grain Elevator and the Petrel Cem, indicating the area's agricultural foundations. The terrain is defined by wide drainages like Duck Creek and Flat Creek, which meander through the townships of Gilstrap, Trail, Liberty, and Flat Creek. This 1970s survey captures the region as a sparsely populated ranching and farming corridor, where landmarks like a lone Townhall or a specific BR 2453 bridge serve as vital orientation points across the open landscape.
