2011 Map of Crown Butte Creek SE

About this map

The Heart River meanders across this Grant County landscape, carving a complex riparian corridor through a region defined by its wide, open spaces and a rigid section-line road network. This 2011 survey reveals the intersection of natural hydrology and human engineering, most notably at Shriek Dam, where local water management shapes the prairie environment. The area is gridded by rural routes like 57th St SW and 53rd Ave, highlighting the systematic land division characteristic of the North Dakota plains. This map is particularly valuable for tracing the exact alignment of these county roads and the specific bends of the river as they appeared during the early 21st century, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure in a sparsely populated agricultural heartland.
