2014 Map of Bratburg Butte

About this map

Bratburg Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of Stark County, where the high prairie begins its descent into the winding valley of the Heart River. The landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including Benzie Ave and 45th St SW, which facilitates access to the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations of the region. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Pioneer Cem, located in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle along 93rd Ave SW. Waterways such as Beaver Cr and Government Cr cut through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped this rural North Dakota environment. The presence of Brands Airport reflects the continued importance of small-scale aviation in the vast, open reaches of the Great Plains during the early 21st century.
