About this map

The Little Missouri River carves through the northwestern corner of this landscape, anchoring a region of the Little Missouri National Grassland defined by its complex drainage network and resource extraction. Significant geological and industrial markers like the Burning Coal Veins and a Scoria Pit near the river signify the subterranean activity and materials that characterize this portion of Slope County.

Water management and local nomenclature are evident through features such as Hamann Dam and the nearby Hamann label, suggesting family-named landholdings. A series of numbered tributaries—First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek—flow eastward toward the river, while Sand Creek dominates the southern reaches. The presence of a Campground near Juniper Spur indicates the area's use for recreation within the protected grassland during the early 1980s.
