About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses much of this McKenzie County landscape, where the prairie is deeply etched by a complex drainage system. The settlement of Charbonneau sits at the northern edge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. North of Bull Butte, the map identifies Nameless Cem, a site of significant interest for local genealogists and historians tracing early pioneer roots in this portion of the Badlands region.

Water defines the terrain's character, with Charbonneau Cr, Middle Cr, and Johntown Cr carving paths through the high plains. The transport network is anchored by Cartwright Rd and Rte 13, which connect the isolated homesteads and grazing allotments. This 2014 survey records a landscape where public grasslands and private holdings intersect, preserving the traditional rural character of western North Dakota.
