About this map

Buffalo Gap Campground anchors the northern reaches of this North Dakota landscape, situated along the corridor of Buffalo Gap Rd. The map illustrates the character of Golden Valley County's rangelands in the early 21st century, where large-scale landholdings like Adams Ranch and Myers Ranch define the settlement pattern. These ranches are linked by a network of secondary roads including 30th St SW and Wannagan Creek Rd, showing how modern livestock operations utilize the natural draws of the terrain.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Knutson Creek and Andrews Creek winding through the hills. Near the southern edge of the survey lies Rider, a local point of interest along the drainage of Andrews Creek. Recreational sites like Camel Hump Campground and the topographic feature De Mores highlight the area's utility beyond ranching, providing insights into the land management of the Sentinel Township area.
