1970 Map of Eagle Draw

About this map

The Little Missouri River snakes through the eastern edge of this landscape, its path defined by sharp meanders and wide sandbars. This 1970 survey captures a rugged intersection of northwestern North Dakota where the boundaries of McKenzie, Golden Valley, and Billings counties converge. The terrain is deeply incised by drainage systems like North Fork Eagle Draw, Beaver Creek, and Morgan Draw, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the region. Scattered throughout the upland ridges and coulees are numerous industrial sites marked simply as Well, indicating active resource extraction in the area. In the northeast, the terrain known as Rhoades sits adjacent to the river's floodplain, where the transition from high-relief topography to the valley floor is most pronounced.
