2020 Map of Barths Butte

About this map

Barths Butte and Twin Buttes anchor the skyline of this Adams County landscape, where the high plains are deeply incised by the drainage networks of Cedar Cr and Duck Cr. The terrain is defined by its section-line road grid, characteristic of the North Dakota prairie, including routes such as 9th Ave NE and 2nd Ave NE. A notable localized label, Cedar-Valley-Gem-, appears in the northern portion of the quadrangle along the creek. This survey illustrates the relationship between the natural watercourses and the late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure, including Dumpground Rd in the southern sector. The map serves as a precise record of the land contours and drainage patterns that have dictated agricultural and grazing boundaries in this part of the state for generations.
