2020 Map of Grassy Butte SW

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of the western North Dakota badlands, spanning the border between McKenzie Co and Billings Co. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Beicegel Cr and the Little Knife River, which cut through the high plains terrain. A notable cultural landmark is the Grassy Butte Seventh Day Adventist Church Cem, located in the northeastern quadrant of the sheet. The map reveals a sparse network of section-line roads, such as 125th Ave SW and 10th St, which serve the remote ranching and grazing land. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex topography typical of the Missouri Plateau, where intermittent streams like N Cr and Spring Cr have carved deep coulees into the surrounding grasslands.
