2020 Map of Stony Butte

About this map

Zion-German Lutheran Cem stands as a focal point for family history in this corner of Hettinger County, marking the cultural heritage of the early agricultural community. The landscape is defined by its distinct landforms, most notably Stony Butte, Pearl Butte, and the prominent Black Butte, which rise above the surrounding plains. The drainage patterns of Thirtymile Cr and Spring Cr navigate the terrain, reflecting the fundamental relationship between water and the viability of these prairie lands. Local infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid, including thoroughfares like St Michael's Rd and Bomber Club Rd. This survey demonstrates the persistence of historical land divisions, tracing the boundaries of T136N R95W and its neighbors, which have shaped the settlement patterns of western North Dakota for over a century.
