2014 Map of Carlyle

About this map

The Carlyle settlement sits at the heart of this survey, straddling the high plains of the Montana North Dakota border. This western edge of the Dakota badlands is defined by a sparse but vital network of water sources, including the headwaters of Lamesteer Cr, Bullion Cr, and E Fork Beaver Cr. The small community is anchored by the Carlyle Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the protected expanse of the Little Missouri National Grassland. The map reveals a strict section-line road grid, including Pipeline Rd and Feragen Dr, which navigate the elevation changes between the creek beds and the high rangeland. In the northeast corner, the Johnstone Dam stands as a rare piece of water management infrastructure in this arid landscape.
