2011 Map of Lone Butte NW

About this map

Hoffman Ranch and the family operations of A Christianson Ranch anchor this landscape in McKenzie County, showing the agricultural settlement pattern of the western North Dakota plains in the early 21st century. The map reveals a land structured by drainage and sparse road networks, where Sevenmile Creek and Elkhorn Creek provide the primary geographic relief. The distribution of individual homesteads such as Rubey Ranch, N Hildre Ranch, and D Zingleman Ranch highlights the vast scale of ranching in the region. Unlike more densely populated areas, the infrastructure here is largely defined by routes like County Rte-37 and 75th St NW, which connect these isolated family holdings across the drainages of Spring Creek and Rough Creek.
