2024 Map of Half Timber Butte

About this map

Half Timber Butte rises from the grasslands of Sioux County, serving as a primary landmark in this section of the Great Plains. The land is defined by the winding course of Battle Creek, which traverses the township lines in a landscape primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the characteristic drainage patterns of the region, where seasonal watercourses have carved intricate coulees into the surrounding prairie. This 2024 data reflects a rural area largely devoid of concentrated modern development, preserving the legal boundaries of sections such as t132n r81w and t134n r80w. It remains a document of the open range and the topographical relief that dictated early ranching and travel routes across this portion of North Dakota.
