1998 Map of White Butte

About this map

The Grand River National Grassland dominates the southern landscape of this 1998 survey, situated along the border of North Dakota and South Dakota. This region is defined by its agricultural legacy and sparse prairie settlements, including White Butte and Petrel. The map details a network of family-held lands such as the B Anderson Ranch, F Fogerty Ranch, and Hoffman Ranch, illustrating the vast ranching operations characteristic of Perkins County. In the north, the Seventh Standard Parallel North serves as a critical surveying line, while the Petrel Cem and a Townhall mark the community centers of this rural territory. Water resources are managed via the White Butte Reservoir and Flat Creek, supporting both the local livestock and the Grand River Grazing Work Facility.
