2024 Map of Medicine Butte

About this map

Medicine Butte dominates the southern landscape of this Mercer County quadrant, rising above a network of drainages and section-line roads. The Knife River meanders prominently through the central and northern reaches, defining the local topography alongside its tributary, Mud Creek. This 2024 survey documents the organized rural grid system of the Great Plains, where county routes like Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 13 provide access to the vast agricultural sections between the river valleys. The map illustrates the persistent structure of North Dakota's township and range system, showing the precise boundaries of t143n r89w and neighboring townships. For the local historian or researcher, the map preserves the exact alignment of modern rural infrastructure against the enduring natural landmarks of the Missouri River plateau.
