2020 Map of Flat Rock Butte

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of McKenzie County, defined by a network of creeks and drainage basins that carve through the badlands landscape. Flat Rock Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding network of remote forest and prairie roads. Drainage is primarily handled by the northern flow of Bennie Peer Cr and its tributaries, while Cinnamon Cr and N Fork Prairie Dog Cr define the southern hydrology. The map illustrates a landscape of public land management where grazing and conservation priorities overlap, evidenced by the scattered road network including Bennie Peer Crk Rd and Flat Rock Rd which provide the primary access through this sparsely populated terrain.
