2020 Map of Black Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of Slope County, North Dakota, where the High Plains break into complex badlands topography. The map detail highlights the high-elevation promontories that define the regional horizon, including the prominent Black Butte and nearby Tepee Butte. These landforms, along with Slide Butte and Boulder Point, provided essential navigational landmarks for early travelers and cattle ranchers in the western part of the state. The drainage patterns of Sand Creek and Deep Creek carve through the grassland, illustrating the erosional forces that continue to shape this environment. A network of rural routes such as County Road 815 and 150th Avenue SW connect isolated parcels of private and public land within the protected Little Missouri National Grassland boundaries.
