About this map

Carlyle and its surrounding prairie landscape straddle the state line where Golden Valley County, North Dakota, meets Wibaux and Fallon Counties in Montana. This high plains region is defined by a sparse network of watercourses and rural roads, including Lamesteer Cr and Bullion Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain. The settlement itself is centered near Carlyle Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural community.

In the southern reaches of the map, the landscape transitions into the Little Missouri National Grassland, reflecting the federally managed open spaces characteristic of the Badlands fringe. Significant water management features like Johnstone Dam highlight the importance of water conservation in this arid environment. The road network, consisting of routes like Carlyle Rd and Edge Hill Rd E, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the methodical division of the Western frontier.
