About this map

Twin Butte rises as the primary landmark in this section of Divide County, North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the rigid section-line grid of the Public Land Survey System, expressed through a network of local roads such as 100th St NW and 135th Ave NW. These routes trace the high-latitude prairie, connecting isolated farms and homesteads across a terrain marked by numerous small depressions and glacial potholes. Us-85 serves as the main north-south artery along the western edge of the quadrangle, providing a vital link for the rural agricultural economy. The survey documents the fine-grained distribution of water and relief, showing the subtle drainage patterns that characterize this corner of the state near the Canadian border.
