2024 Map of Mosquito Butte

About this map

Burke County Waterfowl Production Area dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, reflecting the region's importance for migratory bird habitats. The terrain is defined by the high point of Mosquito Butte and a series of depressions including Christensen Slough and Lagori Slough. This section of the North Dakota prairie sits at the intersection of three counties, where Burke, Ward, and Mountrail meet. The map preserves the locations of local heritage sites such as Our Saviors Lutheran Cem and Bethlehem Lutheran Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural congregations that settled this area. A grid of section roads like 83rd St NW and Co Hwy 4 provides structure to the open agricultural land and wetlands.
