2014 Map of Juniper Spur

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of this high-plains landscape, where the Little Missouri River carves a winding course through North Dakota. The river's meanders are fed by numerous tributaries, including First Cr, Second Cr, and Sand Cr, which define the drainage patterns across the expansive terrain. The prominent landform known as Juniper Spur provides a distinctive point of elevation in an area otherwise characterized by these complex watercourse networks. Infrastructure is sparse in this protected territory, with the presence of E River Rd serving as a primary corridor for transit along the river valley. The map details a moment in time where public land management and natural hydrology dictate the character of the environment, offering a clear view of the topography before contemporary development might alter these grasslands.
