2011 Map of Talbot Butte

About this map

Talbot Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Bowman County, characterizing the high plains landscape of southwestern North Dakota. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated rural area where the grid of section lines and local roads is interrupted by the meandering paths of South Fork Cedar Creek and Buffalo Creek. The intersection of two major transportation routes, Highway 85 and Highway 12, provides the primary access to the region. Public land use is represented by the Butte View State Campground, positioned near the western edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a landscape defined by ranching and open space, where drainage systems like Stage Creek serve as the primary natural breaks in an otherwise strictly organized agricultural grid.
