2014 Map of Four Buttes NW

About this map

Daniels County terrain near the Canadian border is defined by the high, open divides between the Coal Cr and Butte Cr watersheds. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System, where section lines dictate a network of gravel roads and lanes named for the families who settled this part of the northern plains. The road names themselves, such as Halverson Rd, Hagfeldt Rd, and Olson Ln, offer a direct connection to the homesteading history of the region. Aside from the occasional water source like the 37N46E27BCDC01 Spring, the map depicts a largely agricultural or pastoral environment where the vast spacing between established routes like French Ln and Oender Ln underscores the sparse settlement patterns typical of the high prairie during the early 21st century.
