2020 Map of Cedar Butte

About this map

Spring Butte and the namesake Cedar Butte dominate this section of the North Dakota plains in Adams County. This landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns and isolated high points, where Cedar Creek and its smaller tributaries like Duck Creek carve through the prairie. The region's history is anchored at the Union Cem / Spring Butte Cem, a primary genealogical landmark situated in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. A structured grid of section-line roads, including 9th Ave NE and Watros Rd, provides access across the townships. This 2020 edition reveals the persistence of early land divisions and the sparse, rural nature of the high plains, where landmarks such as Robbers Butte served as essential navigational points for generations of ranchers and travelers.
