Chalky Buttes and Rattlesnake Butte dominate the northern landscape of this North Dakota terrain, where the headwaters of the Cedar Creek system begin their eastward journey. The map reveals a land defined by its drainages, including the Sand Cr, N Cedar Cr, and N Fork Cedar Cr. This area, straddling the Slope Co / Bowman Co line, shows a sparse but organized network of section roads like 140th Ave SW and 80th St SW. The presence of Highway 85 on the western edge indicates the primary transit corridor for the region. The landscape is characterized by its high buttes and the meandering paths of the Cedar Cr and S Fork Cedar Cr, illustrating the rugged, unpopulated character of the southwestern North Dakota badlands in the late twentieth century.
