About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland and Theodore Roosevelt National Park converge in this western North Dakota landscape, defined by the winding course of the Little Missouri River. The map highlights a remote and sparsely settled region where the terrain is dominated by significant geographic features like the Long X Divide and the deep cuts of Cedar Canyon.

Evidence of the local ranching and recreational infrastructure is present through the network of section-line roads and specialized trails, most notably the Maah Daah Hey Trl which traverses the grasslands. Water sources such as Stevens Spring and drainages like Squaw Cr and Corral Cr provide essential points of reference in this expansive public land system. The rectangular survey grid persists alongside the irregular natural topography of the Badlands, reflecting the modern management of these preserved wildlands.
