2011 Map of Butte

About this map

Butte serves as the central hub of this North Dakota landscape, situated along the intersection of County Hwy 33 and a grid of local avenues and streets. The town's layout is defined by thoroughfares such as N Main St and Coteau St, which anchor the small residential and commercial core. North of the town, Cottonwood Lake dominates the upper terrain, marking a distinct hydrologic feature in a region characterized by numerous small potholes and wetlands. The surrounding countryside is meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 30th St N and 5th Ave NW tracing the section lines. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of McLean County, where the transition between the small-town grid and the expansive agricultural sections remains sharp and well-defined.
