About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this McKenzie County landscape, where the high plains break into the drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed. The settlement of Grassy Butte serves as the local anchor near the intersection of Main St and Walker Ln, surrounded by a grid of section lines that define the ranching and agricultural life of western North Dakota.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Community Cem and the Grassy Butte Cem, which provide specific points of interest for family research. The terrain is marked by seasonal waterways like Lone Butte Cr, Russian Cr, and Ranch Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the land's use. Remote access is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Lone Butte Rd and Charlie Bob Creek Rd, which wind through the topographical variations of the namesake Grassy Butte landform.
