2024 Map of Long Butte

About this map

The prominent elevation of Long Butte anchor this section of the Great Plains on the border of North Dakota's Hettinger and Adams counties. The landscape is characterized by a sparse, grid-based network of section roads like 95th Ave SW and 81st St SW, which reflect the late-stage development of this agricultural region. The Long Butte Cem remains a significant local landmark, situated just north of the butte itself, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to the surrounding homesteads. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the seasonal flow of Timber Creek meanders through the plains, providing a rare natural break in the strictly rectangular township and range system that otherwise defines the property boundaries and road placements of this rural landscape.
