2020 Map of Pearl Butte

About this map

Saint Peters Cem sits in the northern reaches of this rural Adams County landscape, a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is defined by the prominent elevation of Pearl Butte, which overlooks a network of intermittent drainage and grasslands typical of southwestern North Dakota. Waterways including Duck Creek and Cedar Creek weave through the section lines, shaping the agricultural layout of the region. The map illustrates a strict grid of section roads, such as 8th Ave NE and 11th St NE, that organize the territory into the standard township and range system. This 2020 survey documents the enduring pastoral character of the area, where the vast majority of the land remains dedicated to open range and farming, largely unchanged in its fundamental structure since the initial homesteading era.
