1997 Map of Lone Butte NE

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a deep valley through this western North Dakota landscape, where the broken badlands of Bear Den meet the open expanse of the Little Missouri National Grassland. This 1997 revision of 1956 topography documents a ranching-driven geography, with isolated homesteads such as the M Johnson Ranch and K Hover Ranch positioned near vital water sources like Cherry Creek and Elhorn Creek. The map provides a clear look at the land survey system of the era, marked by the Twelfth Standard Parallel North and the boundary between McKenzie and Dunn Counties. Significant landmarks like Haystack Butte and Round Top Butte rise above the drainage networks of Rough Creek, while numerous Springs and a Flowing Well indicate the critical role of groundwater in this arid environment.
