2024 Map of Figure 4 Ranch

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of the North Dakota badlands, where the landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of Bear Den Creek and Deep Creek. The map reveals a remote ranching environment partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t149n r95w and t148n r95w marking the rugged transition between McKenzie and Dunn counties. While much of the area remains undeveloped within the national grassland, a network of section line roads like 104th Ave NW and specialized routes such as BIA Rte 30 and Bear Den Rd provide access to this isolated interior. The documentation of these Bureau of Indian Affairs and county routes offers insight into the modern infrastructure supporting land management and local transit in a region traditionally known for its sprawling cattle ranges.
