2014 Map of Lookout Butte SE

About this map

Cedar River National Grassland dominates this portion of the northern plains, where the open landscape is defined by its drainage basins and section-line roads. The border between Grant and Sioux counties cuts across the northern terrain, following the winding course of Cedar Cr. This 2014 survey documents the rugged cattle country of the Porcupine District, showing how modern infrastructure like Nd-31 and a grid of rural routes such as 95th St SW navigate the upland plateaus. Small seasonal waterways like Roger Cr and the descriptively named Leaf on the Hill Cr carve out the topography between the rolling buttes. The map provides a precise record of land management and transportation in this sparsely populated region of North Dakota, tracing the persistent boundaries of public lands and the local road network that connects the scattered ranchlands.
