About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of the North Dakota badlands, where a complex network of coulees and waterholes defines the remote landscape. The southern edge of the map transitions into the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, featuring the Roundup Camp Trail near the banks of Government Cr. The map reveals a land structured by drainage patterns rather than dense settlement, with named features like Dawsons Waterhole and Wolf Draw serving as vital landmarks for navigation. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Franks Creek Rd and S Ash Coulee Rd, alongside several primitive tracks designated as Low Maintenance Rd. This layout reflects the area's primary use for conservation and livestock grazing, where water sources like Ash Coulee and Franks Cr dictate the movement of both wildlife and people.
