2014 Map of Wheeler Hills

About this map

Wheeler Hills anchor this portion of Grant County, where the high-plains topography is defined by prominent rises and a network of winding seasonal watercourses. The landscape is characterized by its open, rolling character, punctuated by landmarks such as Russell Butte and the curiously named Blind Johnny Hill. A series of north-south and east-west section roads, including 86th St SW and 81st St SW, grid the territory, facilitating access across the drainage basins of Morris Cr and Snake Cr. The survey captures the drainage patterns where Crooked Cr and Whitmore Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the persistent agricultural and ranching layout typical of this region of North Dakota in the early 21st century.
