About this map

Curlew Valley and the surrounding rangelands of Morton County define this portion of North Dakota's Missouri Plateau. The map reveals a landscape characterized by an intricate network of drainages and named elevations, where small waterways like Wilson Cr and Big Muddy Cr wind between distinctive landmarks. The prominence of features such as Jackrabbit Butte, Solomon Hill, and Nelson Butte provides a clear view of the area's topographical diversity.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and resource-based character is visible in the presence of Coal Hill and the small settlement of Dengate. The layout of section lines and county roads, including Co Rd 139 and Co Rd 138, illustrates the systematic land division of the High Plains. This survey serves as a precise record of the land as it appeared in the early 21st century, from the Red Hills in the west to Bell Butte in the southeast.
