2014 Map of Boyce Creek West

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of Slope County, North Dakota, where the intricate drainages of the Badlands define the landscape. The Little Missouri River carves through the northwestern corner, fed by an extensive network of ephemeral and perennial streams including Boyce Cr, Cash Cr, and Indian Cr. This survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment where movement is dictated by the rugged topography of the river breaks and an numbered system of secondary roads and trails, such as 781 and 784. The map provides a look at the public land management and conservation boundaries that preserve this section of the western plains, showcasing the relationship between the watershed and the protected grassland areas.
