2011 Map of Hootowl Creek West

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through this western North Dakota landscape, carving a complex drainage pattern across the high plains of Pearl Township. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse, ranching-oriented settlement pattern characteristic of the region, where wide-open sections are occasionally punctuated by isolated reservoirs and the seasonal flow of Hootowl Creek. The map provides a clear look at the local road network and section lines that have organized this territory since the era of homesteading, capturing the quiet character of the Badlands' periphery before further modern developments altered the rural quietude.
