About this map

Alexander serves as the primary hub in this McKenzie County landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the open grazing and agricultural lands of western North Dakota. The area's geography is defined by a series of prominent high points, including Ragged Butte to the north and Foreman Butte just west of the town center. These landforms overlook a network of seasonal drainages that shape the local ranching operations.

Tracing the path of Antelope Creek and Lonesome Creek reveals a settlement pattern built around water and topography, evidenced by established family-named properties like R Wolf Ranch and R Skorpil Ranch. Further south, Charbonneau Creek meanders through the prairie, illustrating the transition from the town's street names like Bruegger St and Delaney St to the larger rural tracts connected by County Hwy-15.
