2017 Map of Long Butte

About this map

The prominent elevation of Long Butte anchors the southeastern landscape of this North Dakota quadrangle, where the border between Hettinger Co and Adams Co divides the rolling prairie. This high ground overlooks the small Long Butte Cem, a key landmark for local genealogy and land history. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Timber Cr, which winds through the northern sections of the map amidst a sparse network of section-line roads. The vast Public Land Survey System grid is clearly visible here, with township lines for t131n r93w and t132n r93w framing the agricultural allotments. This area represents the open ranching and farming character of the southwestern part of the state, where named features are fewer but hold significant local weight.
