2020 Map of Square Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in Golden Valley County, where the high plains are carved by a network of intermittent drainage ways. The topographic prominent point of Square Butte stands as a primary landmark in the northern portion of the quadrangle, overlooking a terrain defined by the winding paths of Fisher Run and Garner Cr. A sparse network of rural routes, including Square Butte Rd and Garner Creek Rd, provides the only structural indicators of human presence in this open range. This map documents the complex intersection of township boundaries like t139n r103w and t138n r104w within the federally protected grasslands. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the area's continued use for grazing and conservation, where seasonal water sources like Dry Cr dictate the character of the environment.
