About this map

Cedar Hills defines this landscape in southwestern North Dakota, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and rising elevations. The terrain is marked by the presence of Sunset Butte, a prominent high point standing above the surrounding plains. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Little Missouri River, which is fed by several tributaries including Skull Cr and Bog Cr.

Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible through the inclusion of Oilfield Rd, providing access to the more remote sections of the hills. The intricate creek systems, such as Coyote Cr, Spring Cr, and Worser Cr, indicate a highly eroded topography typical of the badlands region. This map serves as a primary record of the section-line road network, including 88th St SW and 163rd Ave SW, which grid the area even as the elevation becomes increasingly irregular.
