About this map

The Cannonball River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, just downstream of the Mott Watershed Dam. The city of Mott sits at the northern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community. South of the town center, the Mott Municipal Airport provides a point of connection for this prairie region. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage ways and high points that served as landmarks for generations of travelers and residents.

Prominent geological features like Castle Rock and the Gert Buttes rise above the section-line roads, offering distinctive vertical relief in the open country. These named landmarks are complemented by the drainages of Mehrer Creek and Timber Creek, which carve their way through the grid of rural routes. The map illustrates the structured township-and-range development typical of Hettinger County, where most travel follows precise north-south and east-west alignments.
