2024 Map of Amidon

About this map

Amidon serves as the focal point of this southwestern North Dakota landscape, which is defined by the stark transition from upland plains to prominent geological formations. The Slope County Courthouse stands as a central landmark in this high-plains community, while the spiritual and genealogical history of the area is anchored by the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cem and Lebanon Lutheran Cem. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex where the Chalky Buttes and White Butte rise above the surrounding drainage basins. These elevations drop into deep-cut features such as Duff Gulch, while seasonal hydrology is traced through the winding paths of Sand Creek and North Cedar Creek. The survey illustrates a vast, sparsely populated ranching and farming region where section-line roads like 140th Ave SW impose a rigid human order on the irregular badlands topography.
