2020 Map of Plum Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Plum Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this open prairie landscape where Hettinger County meets Adams County in southwestern North Dakota. The terrain is defined by its seasonal hydrology, characterized by the intermittent flow of Timber Creek and Sheep Creek, alongside the shallow basin of Dry Lake. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road system, with routes such as 82nd Street SW and 22nd Avenue NE forming the grid for agricultural land use. This survey illustrates the persistent township and range organization that has shaped the Great Plains since the late 19th century, showing how the rural infrastructure adapts to the natural drainage patterns of the Missouri Plateau.
