2014 Map of Alexander

About this map

Alexander serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape in McKenzie County, where the grid of the North Dakota prairie meets the distinct topography of the Badlands. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Little Missouri National Grassland, a vast public expanse defined by its intricate drainage networks and prominent geological features. Three notable elevations, Ragged Butte, Foreman Butte, and the simply named A Butte, rise above the surrounding terrain, providing crucial landmarks for local navigation and ranching. The hydrologic character of the region is shaped by several seasonal watercourses, including Lonesome Cr, Antelope Cr, and Charbonneau Cr, which wind through the township. In Alexander itself, the street-level detail shows the early 21st-century configuration of local thoroughfares such as Elk St and Fallon St, reflecting the enduring structure of this rural community.
