2020 Map of Gorham NW

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this corner of Billings County, preserving a complex drainage network where the North Dakota badlands begin to take shape. A series of deeply incised creek beds, including Whitetail Cr, Blacktail Cr, and Mikes Cr, carve through the high prairie, illustrating the erosive power that has sculpted this terrain over millennia. The map shows a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t143n r101w and t144n r100w partitioning the open country. Limited human infrastructure is represented by primitive thoroughfares like Blacktail Rd and 16th St SW, which follow the contours of the high ridges to navigate between the branching draws and coulees.
