2020 Map of Buffalo Gap Campground

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of the North Dakota badlands, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Andrews Cr and Knutson Cr. The map captures a transition in regional transportation, showing the proximity of the modern interstate corridor to the historic route of Old Hwy 10. This old highway passes through the small settlement areas of De Mores and Rider, reflecting the early 20th-century automotive and rail heritage of the region. The map provides specific detail for the Buffalo Gap Campground, including its associated access routes like Buffalo Gap Loop and Buffalo Gap Spur. These features, along with the numerous unnamed drainages and elevation contours, illustrate the complex topography that characterizes the breaks between the plains and the river valleys in this corner of Golden Valley and Billings counties.
