2020 Map of Pearl Butte NW

About this map

Cedar Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its path defined by numerous small oxbows and seasonal wetlands. Situated along the boundary between Adams County and Hettinger County, this portion of the North Dakota prairie remains dominated by a systematic grid of section lines and rural roadways. This 2020 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a strictly agricultural character where the land is organized into townships such as t132n r94w. Apart from the drainage of Cedar Creek, the area is notable for its numerous small, scattered prairie potholes and basins that dot the northern sections, particularly around 15th Ave NE. The road network, including routes like 12th Ave NE and 102 Ave SW, facilitates the movement of equipment and livestock across these open plains.
