2024 Map of Heart Butte NW

About this map

The rolling plains along the Morton and Grant county line are defined by the intricate drainage networks of Beaver Creek and Red Creek. This area of North Dakota represents a sparsely populated agricultural landscape where the topography is sculpted by these watercourses as they meander toward the Cannonball River valley. The map documents the section-line road system that organizes the region, reflecting the long-standing Public Land Survey System that has governed settlement patterns since the early days of statehood. This 2024 edition provides a high-resolution view of the terrain for modern land management and conservation, tracing the subtle elevation changes across the open prairie.
