2020 Map of Crown Butte Lake

About this map

Heart River Cem sits on the high ground north of the Heart River loop, serving as a focal point for the rural genealogy of this Morton County landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Sweetbriar Creek and Crown Butte Cr as they converge toward the larger river system. The small settlement of Lyons and the nearby Z P Field reflect a transition in local land use, while Crown Butte Lake occupies the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. A network of county roads, including Co RD 139a and Lyons Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, providing access to the various farmsteads and agricultural plots that comprise this prairie region. The elevation contours reveal the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped the river valley, illustrating the relationship between the watercourses and the established transport routes like Twp Rd 1.
