1997 Map of Cliffs Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this corner of the North Dakota badlands, where the Little Missouri River carves a path through the high western plains. The landscape is defined by the broad elevations of Kinley Plateau and Cliffs Plateau, dissected by numerous drainages including Dantz Creek, Bear Creek, and Whites Wash. This late-twentieth-century survey documents the persistent ranching footprint in the region, noting several family operations such as Ginkel Ranch, M Gerbig Ranch, and the L Henders Ranch. The network of travel through this topography relies on unimproved routes like the East River Road and the Third 4WD Road, highlighting the isolation and specialized land use of the Billings and Slope County border area.
