2018 Map of Barths Butte

About this map

Barths Butte and the Twin Buttes anchor this southwestern North Dakota landscape, where the high plains are dissected by the meandering courses of Cedar Creek and Duck Creek. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its section-line road network and sparse but significant landmarks, reflecting the low-density agricultural character of Adams County. Local genealogy and history are preserved at the Cedar Valley Cem in the northern reach of the quadrangle. The map reveals the modern infrastructure supporting this rural area, including the grid-like system of numbered avenues from 9th Ave NE down to 1st Ave E, and specialized routes such as Dumpground Rd. The survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and topographic relief that have shaped the ranching and farming operations of the High Plains for generations.
