2018 Map of String Buttes

About this map

String Buttes and the surrounding badlands terrain characterize this region of Dunn County, dominated by the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea to the north. This modern survey illustrates the intricate shoreline of Skunk Creek Bay, where the Missouri River valley was transformed by mid-century damming projects. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainage systems, including Skunk Cr and the S Fork Skunk Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the reservoir.
