Square Butte Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of North Dakota.[1]
The creek was so named on account of square-shaped buttes along its course.[2]
The creek (USGS GNIS ID: 1032261) is a tributary of the Missouri River, partially draining into the river as a diversion canal northeast of the community of Harmon (46.965521, -100.938544) before turning south to southeast with the mouth north of Mandan (46.9049927, -100.9131891) in the community of Rock Haven.[3]
