1997 Map of Fryburg NW

About this map

The badlands of western North Dakota dominate this late 20th-century landscape, where the Theodore Roosevelt National Park meets the Little Missouri National Grassland. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as the Burning Coal Vein and the Painted Canyon Overlook, illustrating the unique erosion-carved topography of the region. This survey also records the industrial footprint of the Fryburg Oil Field in the southeast corner, contrasting preservation land with resource extraction. Water sources are critical in this environment, represented by named features like Boicourt Spring, Sheep Butte Spring, and the Mike Auney Flowing Well. Landmarks such as Buck Hill and Wind Canyon provide points of reference for those navigating the network of 4WD trails and the Beef Corral Bottom along the Missouri River.
