2011 Map of Dogtooth Buttes

About this map

Dogtooth Buttes rise above the high plains of southern Morton County, providing a distinct geographic focal point for this rural landscape. The area is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, notably Louse Creek and Dogtooth Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections in the early 21st century. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section roads, such as 64th St and 40th Ave, that delineate the vast farm and ranch land. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, Whiskey Buttes offers another prominent landmark within this sparsely populated prairie region. This survey captures a moment in the region's recent history where the infrastructure remains dedicated to large-scale land management and traditional North Dakota ranching.
