2024 Map of Whetstone Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Whetstone Buttes rise above the high plains of Adams County, anchoring a landscape shaped by seasonal watercourses and the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by its wide-open ranching or farming character, where infrastructure is limited to a sparse grid of section-line roads like 18th Ave NW and 17th St NW. Vital local landmarks such as the Whetstone Cem and Hagen Airport serve as the primary human touchpoints in this expansive terrain. Drainage is managed by meandering features including South Cedar Creek, Russian Slough, and Duck Creek, which carve subtle relief into the prairie. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Bowman and Adams counties, illustrating how political lines bisect this otherwise continuous topographic expanse.
