About this map

Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Missouri National Grassland dominate this corner of Billings County, showcasing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and extraction industries. The western edge of the map features the dramatic topography of Painted Canyon and the Painted Canyon Overlook, while the central and eastern portions are marked by the extensive Fryburg Oil Field.

Large family holdings like the Lindbo Ranch, Talkington Ranch, and Logan Ranch are scattered throughout the territory, illustrating the continued importance of ranching alongside energy production. Water sources such as Southeast Corner Spring and drainage systems like Paddock Creek and Government Creek provide the necessary infrastructure for these operations. The map also identifies industrial points like a Scoria Pit and a Communication Site, reflecting the modern development of this rural North Dakota landscape by the late 1990s.
