2011 Map of Clark Butte

About this map

Clark Butte rises above the prairie in this section of Grant County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Coal Creek and Antelope Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a quiet agricultural region organized by a strict grid of section-line roads, including Newburg Rd and 60th St SW. The area's settlement history is anchored by the presence of Zion Cemetery in the northeast and Freidenfeld Cemetery to the west, markers of the local community and genealogy. To the north, the Heart River and Spring Creek influence the local drainage patterns. The lack of concentrated town sites emphasizes the rural character of this North Dakota landscape, where land use revolves around the natural topography of the buttes and the seasonal flow of its prairie creeks.
