About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, characterized by the prominent landforms of Blue Buttes and Aura Butte. These high points overlook a network of seasonal drainages, including Handy Water Cr, Bear Den Cr, and Dry Cr, which carve through the terrain of McKenzie County. The area is defined by its open expanse, with a geometric grid of rural roads and section lines providing the primary human structure against the natural topography.

Transport through this part of the Four Bears Segment relies on a series of local connectors such as Co Rte 14, Co Rte 57, and Bia Rd 4. The map details the Township and Range system, marking boundaries for t150n r95w and surrounding districts. The presence of Foreman Coulee further illustrates the erosional patterns common to this high plains environment, where water movement has historically dictated the placement of trails and early infrastructure.
