2017 Map of White Butte NE

About this map

Lime Hills rise above the high plains where the border of Stark Co and Hettinger Co meets in southwestern North Dakota. This landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Heart River, which cuts through the northern sections, and several intermittent tributaries including Plum Cr and Buffalo Cr. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads, such as 48th St SW and 54th St SW, which trace the path of agricultural settlement across the prairie. Small watercourses like Boulder Cr and Beaver Cr flow through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the subtle hydrology that supports ranching and farming in this part of the state.
