About this map

The Little Missouri River carves through the northwestern corner of this territory, defining a landscape marked by ranching and natural drainages in Slope County. The terrain is structured by a series of named waterways, including First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek, which flow toward the river from the east. Central to the area is the Juniper Spur prominence, a significant natural landmark situated near E River Rd.

Human activity is centered on established ranching operations and water management, visible in the locations of the Hayden Ranch and J J J Ranch. Farther south, the Hamann Dam provides a point of agricultural infrastructure along the eastern side of the quadrangle. The map reveals a network of local roads and sections, with Sand Creek winding through the southwestern portion, illustrating the reliance on local topography for early settlement and property boundaries in this part of North Dakota.
