About this map

Crown Butte serves as the dominant topographical anchor in this section of Morton County, where the prairie landscape is carved by the drainages of Square Butte Creek and Otter Creek. The 2020 data shows a landscape transitioning from traditional section-line roads to pockets of modern rural development, particularly along the eastern edge where residential lanes like Abbott Lane N and Charlotte Drive N begin to appear.

Strategic transportation routes like County Road 140 intersect the survey area, which spans the boundary with Oliver County. The hydrography, dominated by the winding path of Crown Butte Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of North Dakota. For the local historian or genealogist, the map details the exact Township and Range subdivisions that define family property boundaries across several distinct survey blocks.
