About this map

Chanta Peta Creek meanders through this portion of Hettinger County, defining the rural character of the North Dakota prairie. The landscape is organized by a sparse network of section roads like 19th Ave NW and 72nd St SW, which connect isolated homesteads and small burial grounds that anchor the local community history. Genealogists and historians will find significant landmarks in the scattered cemeteries, including Tepee Butte Cemetery in the northeast and Saint Helena Cemetery near the central creek bed. To the south, Cedar Creek and the marshy reaches of Russian Slough provide natural drainage and topographic contrast to the surrounding agricultural plains. The arrangement of these watercourses and local cemeteries like Peace Cemetery illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of the Great Plains in the early 21st century.
