2020 Map of Croff

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates the central portion of this North Dakota landscape, where the broken terrain of the Badlands begins to give way to the winding course of the Little Missouri River. This 2020 survey reveals a land defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Bear Den Cr and Deep Cr carve deep into the plateau. The map details the transition across the McKenzie and Dunn County line, capturing the sparse but critical transportation network serving this cattle-ranching and energy-producing region. Section lines and gravel routes such as Bear Den Rd and 114 Ave NW grid the high ground between the draws of Lone Beaver Cr and Burnt Cr, illustrating the orderly land management imposed on a physically complex and erosion-carved environment.
