2011 Map of Crown Butte NW

About this map

Rosebud Cemetery sits in the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape in Morton County, providing a primary point of reference for family historians and local researchers. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Otter Creek, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural section line grid that organizes the North Dakota prairie, with long stretches of gravel and paved roads such as 31st St NW and County Rd 83 connecting dispersed farmsteads. The map documents the persistent agricultural footprint of the region, showing how the natural coulees and watercourses of the Missouri Plateau dictate the placement of local infrastructure and land use boundaries.
