2017 Map of Lone Butte NW

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of McKenzie County, where the dissected prairie landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages. Waterways such as Sevenmile Creek and Elkhorn Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the characteristic erosion patterns of the western North Dakota badlands. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Spring Creek Cemetery and the Old Spring Creek Cemetery, both situated near the winding course of Spring Creek. The transport network consists primarily of section-line roads and rural routes like Spring Crk Rd and Co Rd 34, which connect isolated ranching and resource sites across the high plains. The transition between township boundaries, such as t149n r98w and t148n r98w, reveals the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System overlaying this rugged natural topography.
