About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses this high plains landscape in western North Dakota, where the intersection of agricultural ranching and industrial extraction is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by the presence of Oil Fields and the Mondak Fields, which share the space with several long-established family operations such as the M Cote Ranch, K Winter Ranch, and F Roedeske Ranch.

Social and physical infrastructure centers on the Horse Creek Sch, a local landmark positioned near where Horse Creek meanders toward the Sixteenth Guide Meridian West. The network of drainages, including Cheney Creek and Alkali Creek, along with smaller features like the Derudder Dam, illustrate how water was managed and utilized for livestock in this semi-arid region during the late twentieth century.
