About this map

The Cannonball River winds through this Hettinger County landscape, where the small community of Burt serves as a primary point of reference. This rural North Dakota terrain is characterized by a grid of section-line roads, including 87th Ave SW and 73rd St SW, which connect isolated homesteads and agricultural operations. The map provides essential details for genealogical research, specifically locating the Burt Hope Cem to the east of town and Bethany Cem further south near 79th St SW.

Physical landmarks like the Hogs Back Buttes rise above the surrounding plains, offering a distinct break in the topography. Waterways such as Spring Cr and Mehrer Cr feed into the river system, defining the drainage patterns of the region. The map also records the location of Watrous, situated at the intersection of several local routes, illustrating the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the northern prairie.
