About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through the northern reaches of the Little Missouri National Grassland, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and varied terrain along the McKenzie and Dunn County border. This survey illustrates the intricate network of watercourses that feed the river basin, including Cottonwood Creek, Chase Creek, and Crosby Creek. The region is characterized by significant topographical features such as Big Gulch and the erosion patterns typical of the North Dakota badlands. While the area remains largely undeveloped, infrastructure is represented by 10th St NW, which provides access across the grasslands. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System, showing the divisions of Township 147 North, Range 97 West and adjacent sections, which are essential for tracing land ownership and ranching boundaries in this part of the Great Plains.
