Butte sits near the county line where McHenry and McLean counties meet, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by prairie potholes and glacial topography. This modern 2020 survey illustrates the town's grid, centered around Railroad Ave and 3rd Ave, highlighting its enduring structure on the North Dakota plains. North of the town center, the Butte Cem rests along 30th St N, while the prominent rise of Dogden Butte stands out to the west, a landmark that likely guided travelers long before the formal section lines were established. The map reveals the meticulous township and range system, showing how roads like 28th St NW and 24th St NW partition the land into productive agricultural blocks punctuated by numerous seasonal wetlands.
