2018 Map of Plum Butte

About this map

Plum Butte stands as the primary topographic landmark on this rural landscape along the boundary of Hettinger and Adams Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent watercourses and seasonal basins, most notably Dry Lake in the northwest and the winding path of Timber Cr. The area is organized by a geometric grid of section roads including 14th Ave NE and 23rd St NE, illustrating the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern North Dakota prairie. This document reflects a quiet agricultural interior where the natural drainage of Sheep Cr and various unnamed coulees shape the land use and movement through the township blocks of t132n r92w and t131n r92w.
