2011 Map of Keever Butte

About this map

Keever Butte rises as the central landmark of this rural North Dakota landscape, situated within a sparse grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the early 21st century, the area maintained a distinctly pastoral character, dominated by large-scale ranching operations such as the Flying D Paint Ranch and the Diamond R Ranch. These named properties, alongside a network of local roads like 175th Ave NE and 84th Ave NE, reveal the enduring structure of the Great Plains homestead system. The map also traces the winding course of Hay Creek, which provides a natural break in the geometric road layout. To the southwest, a pocket of modern residential development emerges through clusters of smaller streets like Clover Ln and Moonstone Ln, indicating a gradual shift in land use on the outskirts of the larger regional hubs.
