2024 Map of White Butte NW

About this map

Plum Creek meanders through a landscape defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines dictate the path of local travel. This area on the high plains is marked by the transition between Stark Co and Hettinger Co, showing a rural infrastructure built around a sprawling grid of gravel roads and section markers. The map illustrates a contemporary view of the Dakotas' agricultural heartland, where the traditional township and range divisions—including t138n r94w and t137n r93w—remain the primary framework for land ownership and local navigation. While modern in its digital compilation, the data captures the enduring character of these rural townships, where named routes like 92nd Ave SW and 46th St SW provide the only breaks in the undulating terrain.
