2018 Map of Ives

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this corner of the High Plains, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages. The landscape is marked by the winding courses of Indian Creek, Bacon Creek, and W Fork Deep Creek, which cut through the open range across the Slope and Bowman County line. The small settlement of Ives sits in the southwestern portion of the sheet along the section lines, while the Saint Paul Cemetery provides a focal point for family history research in the northern township. A grid of rural routes including Fort Dilts Rd and 162nd Ave SW provides access through these vast public lands, reflecting the enduring cattle-ranching character of western North Dakota.
