2020 Map of Red Butte

About this map

This North Dakota landscape, situated along the border of Mercer and Oliver counties, is defined by the headwaters of Brady Cr. The terrain is marked by the distinct upland landforms of the Missouri Plateau, where the drainage patterns of small seasonal creeks have carved a series of draws and ridges across the prairie. While the region remains primarily dedicated to large-scale agriculture and ranching, the map reveals the sparse network of section-line roads and rural corridors that connect the isolated farmsteads and open pastures of this Great Plains environment.
