About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses this high plains landscape at the border of Golden Valley and Billings counties. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Sentinel Butte and the narrow passage at Buffalo Gap, where transportation and ranching intersect. Local industry and land use are evident through features such as the Gravel Pit and Oil Well, while ranching legacy is marked by the Durha Ranch and Golberg Ranch.

Drainage systems such as Knutson Creek and Andrews Creek carve through the grassland, dictated by the underlying geology. The presence of the Sixteenth Guide Meridian West and the Tenth Standard Parallel North provides a glimpse into the formal surveying grid that organized this portion of North Dakota. Modern infrastructure is also present, including the Camel Hump road and utility-focused Sewage Disposal Ponds.
