2024 Map of Buffalo Gap Campground

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this corner of Golden Valley County, where the terrain transitions between high plateaus and the drainage basins of Knutson Creek and Andrews Creek. Modern recreation and historic transit paths intersect here, centered around the Buffalo Gap Campground. The map preserves the alignment of Old Highway 10, a precursor to the interstate that crosses the landscape alongside contemporary routes like 30th St SW. The small settlements of De Mores and Rider appear near the southwestern and eastern margins respectively, marking traditional focal points in this open country. Hikers and researchers can trace the winding course of the Buffalo Gap Trl and its associated Buffalo Gap Spur Trl, which provide access to the expansive public lands managed across these townships.
