About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape, where the badlands topography is defined by a dense network of coulees and intermittent streams. The Little Missouri River cuts through the northeastern corner, serving as the primary drainage for numerous local waterways including Six Creek, Beaver Creek, and Porcupine Creek. The terrain is marked by significant topographical depressions known as draws, most notably Eagle Draw, Dietz Draw, and Morgan Draw.

Transport through this part of McKenzie County is limited to a handful of gravel routes such as Beaver Creek Road, Blacktail Road, and Belle Lake Road. This map illustrates the intersection of three North Dakota counties—McKenzie, Golden Valley, and Billings—situating it at a remote crossroads of the state's public grazing lands. The layout of section lines and the distribution of drainage features like Prairie Dog Creek reflect the enduring ranching and conservation character of the region.
