2011 Map of Cannon Ball NW

About this map

The Cannonball River meanders across this rural Sioux County landscape, defining the southern topography with its dramatic oxbows and riparian wetlands. To the north, the terrain is shaped by the drainage network of Cantapeta Creek, including its North Branch and Northwest Branch. These waterways carve through the prairie, leading toward the distinct landmark of Castle Butte in the northeast. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, agricultural infrastructure where the section line grid is maintained by unpaved local routes like 13th Ave and 14th Ave. Larger regional connectors such as County Rd-80 and County Rd-134 provide the primary east-west passage through this remote stretch of the North Dakota plains, reflecting a landscape still deeply tied to its natural watercourses and traditional land divisions.
