2014 Map of Figure 4 Ranch

About this map

Figure 4 Ranch sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, straddling the boundary between McKenzie and Dunn counties. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Bear Den Cr and Deep Cr, which carve through the high plains. A significant portion of the western region falls within the Little Missouri National Grassland, reflecting a land use pattern of public grazing and conservation. The map details a thin network of section-line roads and named routes like Bear Den Rd and 23rd St NW, which provide access to this isolated ranching territory. This survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and federal land management in the badlands region during the early 21st century.
