2024 Map of String Buttes

About this map

String Buttes and the high points of Two Shields Butte and Heart Butte dominate this landscape in Dunn County, North Dakota. The terrain is defined by complex drainage patterns, with Skunk Creek and the South Fork Skunk Creek cutting through the topography toward the expansive Skunk Creek Bay. The map provides a modern record of the area's infrastructure, showing the paths of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Rte 12 and BIA Rd 10, alongside local names such as Rabbit Rd. For those researching local burial sites and family histories, the Independence Cem is a significant landmark located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The intersection of natural watercourses like Sakakawea Creek and the organized Bureau of Indian Affairs road network reflects the modern management of this rural prairie landscape.
