2017 Map of Buckskin Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of the North Dakota badlands, showing a landscape defined by dramatic topographical relief and managed conservation. The land is punctuated by distinct landmarks like Buckskin Butte and Teepee Butte, which serve as primary navigational anchors in the rolling terrain of McKenzie County. This 2017 survey details a network of section lines and forest service roads, including Co Rte 50 and 128th Ave, that provide access to this expansive public range. Waterways such as Cottonwood Cr and Bennett Cr carve through the land, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the buttes over millennia. The presence of the Maah Daah Hey Trl indicates the area's importance for long-distance trail navigation, while localized road names like Main St and 2nd St SW near the eastern edge suggest the proximity of the small community of Grassy Butte.
