2015 Map of Kid Rich Butte

About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates the southern half of this landscape, marking a transition between the open prairie of North Dakota and South Dakota. This quadrangle is defined by a series of prominent high points that break the horizon, including Big Butte, Castle Butte, and Wolf Butte. The local topography is further shaped by the drainage patterns of Flat Cr and the North Fork Grand River in the southwestern corner. While the area is largely characterized by its natural features and rangeland, a network of rural roads like Country Club Rd and Cemetary Rd provides access to the sectioned land. The presence of Kid Rich Butte in the southwest offers a specific landmark for those tracing the geographic history and land use of the state border region.
