2024 Map of Dry Bullion Creek

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this western North Dakota landscape, where the high plains break into a complex network of drainages and plateaus. The southern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Little Missouri River, which collects the seasonal flows of Bullion Creek and Dry Bullion Creek. Spanning the border of Golden Valley and Slope counties, the map reveals a sparsely settled region primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. Modern infrastructure is limited to a few arterial paths like Pipeline Rd, Van Daele Rd, and 47th St SW, which trace the section lines and natural contours of the terrain. This map captures the intersection of conservation lands and the continuing legacy of the open range in the Badlands vicinity.
