2014 Map of Dogtooth Buttes

About this map

Whiskey Buttes and the Dogtooth Buttes dominate this prairie landscape along the shared border of Grant and Morton counties. The area is defined by its drainage patterns, with the meandering course of Louse Creek flowing across the northern and central sections while Dogtooth Creek emerges to the south. This 2014 survey documents a classic North Dakota section-line road grid, where numeric routes like 42nd Avenue and 67th Street intersect the primary east-west corridor of ND-21. The lack of dense settlement emphasizes the agricultural and topographical character of the Great Plains, capturing a moment when the regional infrastructure remained focused on these geometric township and range divisions.
