2011 Map of Stocke Butte

About this map

Stocke Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of McKenzie County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching operations and seasonal waterways. The map documents rural land use at the start of the decade, centering on the A Gravos Ranch to the north and the L Anderson Ranch further south. These family-named holdings highlight the ranching heritage of the region, where wide-reaching section lines and access roads like County Rd 27 and County Rd 30 structure the plains. The drainage patterns of the area are traced through the winding paths of Cherry Creek and Red Wing Creek, which provide vital water sources for the cattle operations that have historically shaped this part of North Dakota.
