Little Butte Cem and the distinctive landmark of Little Butte serve as focal points in this section of Burke County. The landscape is defined by the prairie drainage system of the Drift Prairie, where seasonal waterways like Niobe Coulee, Ankenbauer Coulee, and Big Spring Coulee carve through the terrain. The area is dotted with numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands, including Eckert Lake and the Martin Lakes. A strict section-line road grid, including Co Rd 16 and numerous numbered streets, organizes the agricultural space around elevations such as Ward Hill. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character and sparse settlement patterns of northwestern North Dakota.
