About this map

Glen Ullin and New Salem serve as the primary anchors for this region of western North Dakota, situated along the corridor of the Northern Burlington transit lines. The landscape is defined by the Curlew Valley and a series of prominent topographic landmarks including Twin Buttes, Eagle Nest, and Heart Butte. The presence of a Strip Mine north of New Salem indicates the local extraction industry, while the sprawling Lake Tschida and Heart Butte Reservoir to the south dominate the hydrological landscape.

Water management and wildlife conservation are central themes, evidenced by numerous dedicated areas such as the Fish Creek Lake State Wildlife Management Area and the Otter Creek State Wildlife Management Area. Small, potentially vanished locales like Bluegrass, Dengate, and Fallon offer touchpoints for genealogists tracing early prairie settlements. The transition from the Little Heart Flats in the east to the high buttes in the west illustrates the varied terrain of Morton County.
