2014 Map of West Twin Butte

About this map

Plain View Cem sits as a solitary landmark in this 2014 survey of Golden Valley County, where the high plains terrain is defined by its drainage networks rather than dense settlement. The landscape is marked by the branching headwaters of Elk Cr, including the winding E Branch Elk Cr, which carve shallow paths through the western Dakotas. Along the eastern edge, the Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses a portion of the map, signifying the transition into protected public lands. The namesake West Twin Butte rises in the southeastern quadrant, providing a distinct topographic reference point near the intersection of Twin Butte Rd and the section line roads like 26th St SW. The area's character is strictly agricultural and pastoral, reflected in the orderly grid of section roads such as Westerheim Rd and Elk Creek Rd that navigate the seasonal flows of Wannagan Cr and Winter Cr.
