2018 Map of Talbot Butte

About this map

Talbot Butte rises above the open range of western North Dakota, serving as a prominent landmark in this corner of Bowman County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Buffalo Creek and Slough Creek, which wind through the prairie terrain. Human impact is centered on the Bowman Regional Airport, a modern node of transportation located near the section lines of T131N R101W. A grid of section roads including Gene Hansey Road and Don Hagal Road crisscrosses the township, reflecting the orderly land division of the Great Plains. To the north, the headwaters of the South Fork Cedar Creek cut through the undulating hills, illustrating the subtle but persistent watershed of the high plains during this contemporary period.
