2024 Map of Croff

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this western North Dakota landscape, defining the rugged geography shared between McKenzie and Dunn counties. This area is dominated by the Little Missouri National Grassland, where a complex network of drainage systems including Bear Den Creek, Lone Beaver Creek, and Deep Creek etch into the high plains. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land management and access, where rural routes like Beaver Crk Rd and Bear Den Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the protected grasslands. This 2024 survey captures the persistent rural character of the region, showing how the natural hydrology of Burnt Creek and the river's floodplains dictate the placement of local roads and property boundaries across these vast public lands.
