2024 Map of Ice Box Canyon

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of McKenzie County, where the high plains break into a network of drainages and topographical landmarks. The Little Missouri River flows through the southwestern corner, while the landscape to the north is defined by the winding course of Beicegel Creek and the notable rise of Flat Top Butte. This survey highlights the intersection of public lands and the rural road system, including Rough Rider Rd and Co Rte 50, which provide access to the area's interior. Near the northern edge, the namesake Ice Box Canyon marks a distinct geological feature within the badlands-adjacent terrain. The map reflects a modern view of this conserved prairie environment, documenting the way contemporary infrastructure like W Beicegel Cr Rd navigates the complex system of coulees and draws.
