2011 Map of Crown Butte

About this map

Crown Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the Missouri plateau, overlooking a landscape defined by the drainage networks of several seasonal and permanent watercourses. The local geography is shaped by the winding paths of Square Butte Creek in the northeast and Otter Creek which traverses the central section of this territory. This area of Morton County demonstrates a late-twentieth-century rural development pattern, where a systematic grid of section roads like 29th Ave and 32nd St provides access across the open terrain. The mapping reveals how Crown Butte Creek meanders through the southern portions, illustrating the natural water management of the northern plains. This record is particularly useful for understanding the exact positioning of rural corridors and the topographic relationship between the high ground and the creek valleys in this North Dakota interior.
