2020 Map of White Butte NW

About this map

The rolling grasslands of the North Dakota prairie define this landscape along the border of Stark and Hettinger Counties. The terrain is primarily shaped by the meandering path of Plum Cr, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a sparse, rural settlement pattern defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a network of section-line roads like 47th St SW and 95th Ave SW providing access to the open agricultural tracts. The map captures the geographic transition between Stark Co and Hettinger Co, illustrating how the township and range system organized the land for farming and ranching in the early 21st century.
