2011 Map of Blue Buttes SE
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Aura Butte rises above the drainage networks of McKenzie County in this 2011 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several intermittent watercourses, including Handy Water Creek, Bear Den Creek, and Dry Creek, which carve through the plains. The presence of the C Mercer Ranch underscores the area's agricultural and ranching heritage, providing a specific point of interest for researchers of local land ownership and rural settlement patterns. Transportation through this part of the Four Bears Segment is facilitated by a network of rural roads such as Co Rte 14, BIA Rd 4, and County Rte 57. This map reflects the modern configuration of the North Dakota badlands and prairie, showing how the local road systems interact with the natural topography.
