About this map

The Cannonball River winds through the northern edge of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Mott as it appeared in the late 2010s. This agricultural region in Hettinger County is defined by a grid of rural sections and local roads, such as 73rd St SW and 78th St SW, which facilitate movement between the town center and outlying farmstead sites. Just south of the municipal core, the Mott Municipal Airport serves as a vital transportation link for this portion of the Great Plains.

Prominent natural landmarks provide vertical relief to the prairie, most notably the distinctive formation of Castle Rock and the Gert Buttes. These features, along with drainage systems like Mehrer Cr and Timber Cr, illustrate the transition from the river valley to the higher, undulating terrain of southwestern North Dakota. The map detail extends to the street level within the town, showing thoroughfares like Railroad Ave and Illinois Ave.
