2011 Map of Mott North

About this map

Mott sits at the southern edge of this Hettinger County landscape, where the Cannonball River meanders through the prairie. The geography is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably the winding paths of Spring Creek and Springs Creek, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the plains. Higher ground is sparsely populated, with a grid of rural routes such as Larson Lake Rd and Van Lishout Rd providing access to outlying farmsteads. Just north of the town center, Sunny Slope Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the open drainage of Thirtymile Creek, illustrating the characteristic wide-open spaces of the North Dakota grasslands during the early twenty-first century.
