2020 Map of Taylor Butte

About this map

Taylor Butte rises above the prairie landscape of Adams County, serving as the central landmark for this North Dakota township survey. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, including Ross Slough and the winding course of Cedar Creek. These watercourses create a distinct topography across the grid of section lines, reflecting the typical high plains settlement pattern where land is partitioned by cardinal avenues. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the headwaters of Spring Cr, while Duck Cr and Goose Cr drain the central and southern portions of the territory. This map documents a largely rural and agricultural region, where the infrastructure is primarily composed of a meticulous grid of numbered roads, from 10th Ave NE in the south to 18th Ave NE at the northern boundary.
