2023 Map of Lone Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in western North Dakota, where the winding path of the Little Missouri River carves through the terrain. The map captures a high-elevation environment defined by prominent landmarks such as Lone Butte in the southeast and Morman Butte to the north. A portion of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park is visible in the northwest corner, illustrating the protected status of these badlands. The drainage network is complex, with Rough Creek, Dry Creek, and Spring Creek all feeding toward the central river valley. Local infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of section-line roads like 125th Ave NW and rural routes such as Long X Rd, which provide access to the vast grazing lands and the isolated Square Top plateau.
