2014 Map of Flat Rock Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses this high plains landscape in McKenzie County, defined by a complex drainage network and modern energy extraction. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Flat Rock Butte, while the water system is dominated by the winding paths of Bennie Peer Cr and Poker Jim Cr. This 2014 survey documents the industrial footprint of the region, specifically the Poker Jim Oilfield in the north and the Bicentennial Oil Field to the southwest. The map details a dense grid of local access roads, including 814 and 815, which serve the various oil pads and grazing lands. Along the southern border, the headwaters of N Fork Prairie Dog Cr and Cinnamon Cr cut through the grassland, illustrating the persistent erosion patterns of the western North Dakota badlands.
