About this map

Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Missouri National Grassland define this corner of Billings County, where the badlands topography meets the open prairie. The landscape is deeply carved by water, featuring the prominent Painted Canyon and Cedar Canyon near the southern boundary. These drainages, including Paddock Cr and Government Cr, illustrate the complex erosion patterns that characterize the western North Dakota badlands.

Energy production is integrated into the rugged terrain, notably at the Theodore Roosevelt Oil Field in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural routes such as Government Creek Rd and Talkington Rd, which provide access to remote areas and the Heart River headwaters. Notable landmarks like the Southeast Corner Spring offer specific points of interest for those tracking the history of land use and conservation in this part of the Theodore Roosevelt elk and bison range.
