2017 Map of Ziner Butte

About this map

Ziner Butte rises above the open range of North Dakota's Badlands in this 2017 survey of Dunn County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the winding course of the Knife River, which is joined by Crooked Cr and Spring Cr. These waterways cut through a high prairie terrain marked by isolated landforms like Twin Buttes. Human settlement is sparse and dictated by the section-line road grid, which includes routes like 12th St SW and 95th Ave SW. The small community of Sunset Strip sits in the northeast corner, positioned near the highest elevations of the map. This edition reflects the contemporary rural layout of the region, where wide-scale agriculture and ranching are bounded by the Public Land Survey System townships, including t144n r94w and t143n r93w.
