2024 Map of Buckskin Butte

About this map

Grassy Butte sits at the edge of the dissected badlands landscape in McKenzie County, showing the intersection of local ranching life and the protected wilderness of the Little Missouri National Grassland. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes between the high plateaus of Teepee Butte and the deep drainage basins carved by Cottonwood Creek and Bennett Creek. Modern recreation and traditional land use are visible through the route of the Maah Daah Hey Trl, which winds through the western half of the map, and the Cottonwood Trl following the creek's path. The map provides a look at the township and range survey system, with clear boundaries for t145n r99w and neighboring sections, detailing a rugged landscape defined by its buttes and coulees.
