Sentinel Butte stands as a prominent geographic anchor in this Golden Valley County landscape, where the high plains of western North Dakota transition through sharp coulees and plateaus. This 2014 survey captures the township of Sentinel Butte and the smaller settlement of De Mores to the east, connected by a network of county roads like CR-1728 and CR-1711. The rugged topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Camels Hump Butte and its namesake Camels Hump Lake, while drainage systems like Knutson Cr and Andrews Cr carve through the elevation. Local history is grounded in sites like Saint Michaels Cem, located north of the primary townsite. The layout of the modern transportation grid, including Red Hills Rd and Square Butte Rd, illustrates how the rural infrastructure navigates the complex terrain of the Missouri Plateau.
