Grassy Butte

Few communities in western North Dakota have a history as closely tied to homesteading and ranching as Grassy Butte. This small unincorporated community in McKenzie County stands on North Dakota Highway 16, amid the open prairie and badland country associated with the Little Missouri National Grassland. The Little Missouri River flows west of the settlement, cutting a distinct corridor through this dry section of the Great Plains. Grassy Butte grew during the region’s settlement era, and the surrounding range remains central to its identity. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of western North Dakota.
