2021 Map of Artichoke Butte NE

About this map

The Missouri River and the expansive Lake Oahe reservoir dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the Sutton Bay RD and Sutton Bay TRL provide access to the water's edge. This 2021 survey reveals a vast prairie topography transitioning into the deeply carved drainage of Artichoke Creek, which meanders across the southern sections of the quadrangle. The boundary between Potter County and Sully County bisects the southern reaches, marking a transition in local jurisdiction amidst a network of section-line roads like 172nd St and 293rd Ave. While much of the terrain is defined by its agricultural grid, the natural contours of Spring Draw and the winding course of the Artichoke Creek tributaries illustrate the complex hydrology feeding into the Missouri basin.
