2024 Map of Mott NW

About this map

The Cannonball River winds through the southern reaches of this Hettinger County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns alongside Chilton Creek and Dixon Creek. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Zich Hills in the northeast, which rise above the surrounding agricultural sections. This 2024 survey reflects the modern rural grid of western North Dakota, where gravel roads like Larson Lake Rd and 64 ST SW provide access to isolated farmsteads and open prairie. Water is a central feature of the topography, from the meandering Spring Creek in the west to the quiet waters of Charles Lake tucked away in the southeast corner. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of the Great Plains, where the Public Land Survey System creates a rigid framework over the undulating hills and seasonal waterways.
