About this map

Carlyle and the surrounding borderlands of the North Dakota-Montana line define this topographic study, where the high plains meet the headwaters of numerous prairie creeks. The settlement of Carlyle is the central hub of a grid-based road network, including Carlyle Rd and Carlyle Rd E, which service the remote ranching and agricultural lands of Golden Valley County. Local history is anchored by the Carlyle Cem, while the natural landscape is dominated by the seasonal flow of Lamesteer Cr and Bullion Cr.

To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Little Missouri National Grassland, a protected expanse that reflects the region's conservation and grazing heritage. The map documents a sparse but deliberate human footprint, from the Johnstone Dam in the northeast to the long stretches of Marmarth Rd and Pipeline Rd that traverse the rolling divide between the Beaver Creek and Missouri River drainages.
