About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of Slope County, where the high plains of North Dakota transition into the broken terrain of the badlands. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the meandering courses of the Cannonball River and Philbrick Creek, which carve drainage patterns across the open prairie. In the southern half, the landscape rises dramatically at West Rainy Butte, a prominent landmark in the region's topography.

Local history is anchored by the Shollsmade Cem, located near the intersection of 57th St SW and 129th Ave SW. This site, along with a network of section-line roads like 60th St SW and 61st St SW, reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System structure that organized settlement and ranching in these grasslands. The map details the remote character of the area, where water sources and high points dictate the patterns of land use.
