2014 Map of Red Butte

About this map

Red Butte rises above the rural landscape of the Mercer and Oliver county line, serving as a prominent landmark in this prairie region. The area is defined by its quiet, agricultural character, marked by a precise grid of section-line roads like 12th St SW and 50th Ave SW. While primarily open country, the map reveals the locations of several localized burial sites that offer a connection to the area's pioneer history, including the Red Butte Cem and the Nisbet Cem located near the banks of Brady Cr. To the south, the Spring Brook Cem sits near the headwaters of Otter Cr, further illustrating the dispersed nature of these early settlements and family homesteads on the high plains.
