About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of McKenzie County, characterized by a series of prominent high points and drainages that define the local geography. Significant landmarks include Buckskin Butte and Teepee Butte, which rise above the surrounding terrain. The landscape is carved by a network of seasonal waterways, most notably Bennett Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Beicegel Cr.

Human activity is centered near Grassy Butte, where the intersection of Main St and 128th Ave provides a hub for local transit. The map details a grid of section lines and rural roads, including Co Rd 50 and the notable Maah Daah Hey trail system. This digital survey from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring balance between federal land management and the sparse, isolated settlement patterns of the North Dakota badlands region.
