2014 Map of Clark Butte

About this map

Clark Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this upland landscape straddling the boundary of Grant and Hettinger counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including the Heart River in the northeast and Antelope Cr to the south. This 2014 survey documents a strictly rural section of North Dakota, where the grid of section roads like 81st Ave SW and 55th St SW organizes the expansive prairie. For genealogists, the map identifies localized burial sites such as Zion Cem and Freidenfeld Cem, which serve as some of the only named indicators of the area's early settlement history. The course of Coal Cr and Spring Cr further illustrate the watershed patterns that shaped the placement of local homesteads and travel routes across these high plains.
