2020 Map of Cedar Hills

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves through the western edge of this Bowman County landscape, where the high plains break into the topographic complexity of the Cedar Hills. The area is defined by a series of drainages, including Coyote Cr, Spring Cr, and Bog Cr, which have sculpted the Plains Valley over time. This modern geospatial survey shows a landscape heavily influenced by energy extraction, evidenced by specialized infrastructure like Oilfield Rd and the specifically named Oil Rd to the Dennis. Prominent landmarks such as Sunset Butte rise above the drainage networks, serving as key navigational points in a region where section lines like 88th St SW and 163rd Ave SW impose a rigid human geometry onto the winding natural watercourses of the northern Great Plains.
