2011 Map of Pretty Rock Butte

About this map

Pretty Rock Butte and other prominent high points define this section of the North Dakota landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by distinct landforms such as Round Top and the colorfully named Beer Bum Hill, which rise above the surrounding plains. The local geography is further shaped by the drainage systems of Snake Creek, Morris Creek, and Brushy Creek, which wind through the area. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Pretty Rock Cemetery stands in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map reflects a rural section of the state where a structured grid of local roads, including Elgin Rd and several numbered streets and avenues, provides the primary means of navigation through the sparsely populated county.
