2024 Map of Ives

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland segments dominate this southwestern North Dakota landscape, where the prairie is etched by seasonal watercourses and rural section roads. The small settlement of Ives sits at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare point of human density in a region defined by open ranchland and public trust lands. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Paul Cem, a solitary landmark positioned near Indian Creek in the northwestern quadrant. The map also delineates the border between Slope Co and Bowman Co, revealing how drainage patterns like Bacon Creek and West Fork Deep Creek move across the county line. This contemporary survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, where historic routes like Fort Dilts Rd continue to navigate the undulating terrain.
