2024 Map of Horse Creek School

About this map

Horse Creek and its neighboring drainages define the landscape of this corner of McKenzie County, where the plains are etched by natural coulees and modern industrial infrastructure. This 2024 survey captures the characteristic dual-use nature of the North Dakota badlands, showing how legacy ranching terrain meets the active development of energy resources. The network of drainage features like Cheney Creek and Alkali Creek carve through the sections, while the presence of Oil Field Rd indicates the ongoing significance of the petroleum industry in the region. Local travel is facilitated by Co Rd 3, which traverses the township lines of the t149n r104w and t149n r103w ranges. Geographic landmarks like Vanderhoof Coulee provide essential waypoints for local history researchers and land managers documenting the evolution of this rural landscape.
