About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of McKenzie County, where the high plains break into a network of drainages and dramatic landforms. The Little Missouri River carves through the northwestern and southwestern corners of the sheet, fed by a series of intermittent streams including Beicegel Cr, Little Beicegel Cr, and Bummer Cr. These waterways have sculpted the namesake Ice Box Canyon and defined the local topography around prominent features like Flat Top Butte.

Transport through this part of the Badlands is primarily via established rural routes such as Rough Rider Rd, Co Rd 50, and Flat Top Rd. The map illustrates a landscape where cattle grazing and conservation are primary uses, marked by the frequent appearance of the Lmng boundary designation. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the modern drainage patterns and road network within the federal grassland system.
