2024 Map of Amidon SE

About this map

Chalky Buttes and Rattlesnake Butte dominate the northern landscape of this North Dakota quadrangle, where the headwaters of several drainages begin their eastward journey. The terrain is defined by the branching network of the Cedar Creek system, including the North Fork Cedar Creek and South Fork Cedar Creek. This 2024 survey documents the enduring section-line road grid across the border of Slope and Bowman counties, represented by corridors like 140th Ave SW and 80th St SW. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where large-scale ranching or agricultural divisions follow the Public Land Survey System, with the landscape mostly devoid of concentrated settlements, focusing instead on the natural topography and the sparse infrastructure required to navigate these high plains.
