2014 Map of Daglum SW

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this corner of Slope County, North Dakota, where the headwaters of the Cannonball River begin their trek across the prairie. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Philbrick Cr and Adobe Wall Cr, carving through the high plains terrain. Human impact on the land is marked by industrial activity at the Rocky Ridge Oilfield in the northwest, contrasting with the quiet presence of the Peaceful Valley Cem. Transportation in this part of the state relies on the corridor of I-85 and State Highway 21, which intersect near the southern border of the sheet. This 2014 survey documents the continued intersection of public grazing lands, energy extraction, and small-scale rural infrastructure.
