2017 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

About this map

The Missouri River dominates this 2017 landscape, carving through the heart of the region and defining the boundary between Morton and Burleigh counties. Along its western banks, the land is marked by significant alluvial features such as Schmidt Bottom, Kimball Bottom, and Graner Bottom, where the river's influence on the local topography is most apparent. This area includes the northern reaches of Lake Oahe, a major reservoir that has altered the river's traditional flow. Away from the water, the terrain rises into distinct elevations like Sugarloaf Butte and Twin Buttes. The settlement of Huff sits near the southern edge of the map, anchored by Saint Martins Cem, while further north, the Stewartsdale Cem serves as a marker of local heritage. The convergence of Apple Creek and the river, alongside the Roughrider Trail, highlights a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and modern recreational routes.
