2011 Map of Barths Butte

About this map

Cedar Valley Cemetery sits in the northern reaches of this Adams County landscape, positioned near the winding path of Cedar Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Barths Butte and Twin Buttes, which rise above the surrounding prairie. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the region, where a strictly rectangular grid of section-line roads, including 9th Ave NE and 14th St NE, facilitates movement across the open plains. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Duck Creek and North Lemmon Lake Rd highlight the sparse but deliberate integration of infrastructure with natural watercourses. The map reflects a modern era of land management in North Dakota, where large-scale agriculture and ranching dictate the layout of the land, leaving quiet landmarks like the cemetery to serve as the primary records of local heritage.
