The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this North Dakota landscape, revealing a highly dissected terrain where the Little Missouri River carves through the badlands. Elevated landmarks like Haystack Butte and Round Top Butte provide orientation points above a complex network of drainages. The hydrology of the region is well-defined by Cherry Creek, Lone Beaver Creek, and Elkhorn Creek, which feed the river system across the McKenzie and Dunn county lines. A grid of rural roads, including 118th Ave NW and 15th St NW, provides limited access into the deep coulees and ridges that characterize this part of the northern Great Plains.
