2024 Map of Wolf Butte

About this map

Wolf Butte rises above the rolling grasslands of Adams County, serving as a primary landmark in this sparsely populated region of North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Duck Creek and Wolf Butte Creek, alongside the wetland area of Russian Slough to the northwest. This modern survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the high plains, where the rectilinear grid of township lines and local roads like 18th Ave NE and 11th St NW partition the land into large sections. A central point of community history is the Wolf Butte Lutheran Cem, a quiet site that indicates the early 20th-century settlement patterns of the surrounding prairie. The map provides a clear view of the hydrological network and the isolated topographical features that guided early travelers and homesteaders across this northern frontier.
