2011 Map of Long Butte

About this map

Long Butte rises as the primary topographic landmark in this section of Hettinger County, marking a landscape defined by organized section lines and rural transit. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a sparse settlement pattern dominated by agricultural access roads and a few key watercourses, most notably Timber Creek which winds through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. A significant point of interest for local historians is the Long Butte Cemetery, located near the intersection of 12th Ave NE and 19th St NE. The road network, including County Hwy-2129 and County Hwy-2128, illustrates the grid-based development typical of the North Dakota plains, where transit is dictated by section boundaries and the local geography of the buttes.
