2020 Map of Mosquito Butte

About this map

Mosquito Butte rises as a distinct landmark in this pocket of North Dakota where Burke, Ward, and Mountrail counties meet. The landscape is defined by the prairie pothole region's characteristic wetlands, with numerous unnamed seasonal ponds surrounding larger permanent features like Christensen Slough and Lagorin Slough. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of the High Plains, where a precise grid of township roads—including 83rd St NW and 590th St NW—sections off the land for agricultural use. Spiritual and community history is anchored by the presence of Our Saviors Lutheran Cem and Bethlehem Lutheran Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the Scandinavian heritage and early settlements that shaped this portion of the northern plains.
