About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape along the border of Billings and Stark counties, revealing a topography defined by complex drainages and remote prairie outposts in the late 1990s. The small community of Gaylord and the Swenson Ranch serve as primary points of human settlement amidst the expansive terrain of Peaceful Valley. Local religious life is centered at Our Lady of Lourdes Ch, which is accompanied by a nearby Cem.

Waterways like Bull Creek, Adobe Wall Creek, and the North and South Forks of local streams carve through the earth near the Rocky Ridge formation. Traces of regional industry are present through scattered Oil and Well labels, while the elevated landmark at Ouellette provides a clear perspective of the surrounding badlands and grasslands. This survey, updated by the Forest Service, captures a moment when traditional ranching and newer energy interests shared this stretch of the western North Dakota plains.
