2020 Map of Bear Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in McKenzie County, showing a vast expanse of public land defined by drainage patterns and distinct buttes. The terrain is marked by intermittent watercourses like Antelope Cr and Cherry Cr which carve through the high plains toward the Red Wing Cr. Local heritage is anchored by two quiet landmarks: Spring Grove Cem in the northeast and Red Wing Cem to the southeast, serving as markers of the rural community's footprint. The namesake Bear Butte rises as a prominent landmark above Docs Draw, illustrating the classic topography of the North Dakota badlands region. The map also delineates the precise township and range boundaries, such as t148n r101w, which organize the grid of section lines and secondary roads like Co Rd 30.
