2014 Map of White Butte NE

About this map

The Lime Hills rise above the high plains of North Dakota in this 2014 survey, marking a distinct topographic elevation in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Heart River, which cuts across the northern reaches, and several seasonal tributaries including Plum Cr and Buffalo Cr. The area reflects a sparse, highly organized grid of rural roads such as 90th Ave SW and 50th St SW, which facilitate access across the open terrain between Stark Co and Hettinger Co. The southern border of the map traces the Beaver Cr watershed, showing the subtle interplay between the high plains and the winding creek beds that characterize this section of the state. This record of the physical geography preserves the precise rural road layout and natural drainage patterns of the early 21st century.
