2011 Map of Heart Butte

About this map

Heart Butte Creek and its many winding tributaries define the drainage of this prairie landscape in Morton County. The terrain is characterized by isolated high points such as Wolf Butte in the north and the namesake Heart Butte to the west, which rise above a network of section-line roads and rural corridors like Farmer's Trl. A sense of local heritage is centered at the Old Saint Joseph Cemetery, situated near the banks of Lindstrom Creek. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region, where a rectilinear grid of local roads like 66th Ave SW and 52nd St SW organizes the wide-open geography between these prominent buttes and the creek bottoms.
