2014 Map of Crown Butte Lake

About this map

The Heart River winds through the southeastern portion of this Morton County landscape, where the settlement of Lyons serves as a local waypoint along Lyons Rd. This area is defined by the confluence of local drainages, including Sweetbriar Creek and Crown Butte Cr, which feeds into the recreational waters of Crown Butte Lake in the northwest. The terrain reveals a transition from these riparian corridors to upland plateaus, punctuated by local infrastructure like the Z P Field Airport and the north-south alignment of ND 25. Researchers will find significant local history markers such as the Heart River Cem, situated on the bluffs overlooking the river valley. The infrastructure is modern, dominated by the corridor of Interstate 94 and its associated Bus Loop I 94, yet the underlying topography remains the primary focus of this early 21st-century survey.
