2011 Map of Sibley Butte

About this map

Sibley Butte dominates this prairie landscape in Burleigh County, providing a high-ground perspective over a region defined by agricultural grids and drainage networks. The East Branch Apple Creek meanders through the central terrain, its course partially managed by infrastructure like the Rice Lake Dam to the north. This survey illustrates the sprawling ranching culture of the early 21st century, most notably at the Pattersons Apple Creek Ranch Landing Strip, which points to the intersection of traditional land use and modern aviation. The map's grid of section roads, including 175th Ave NE and 301st St NE, reveals the precise geometric organization of the North Dakota countryside, where ranching interests and water management remain the primary drivers of the local economy and land development.
