2020 Map of Kiefer Buttes

About this map

Kiefer Buttes and other prominent elevations rise above the glaciated plains of Emmons County in this modern topographic study. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, most notably Cattail Cr and the S Br Cattail Cr, which wind through the township and range divisions. The distribution of named high points such as Lookout Butte, Smith Butte, and Fritz Butte suggests a terrain that has long served as a navigational reference for local travelers. To the east, Becker Lake provides a localized basin for surface water. The area is intersected by a grid of rural roads, including Main Ave and various numbered streets, reflecting the systematic land survey patterns that have organized North Dakota agriculture for generations.
