2023 Map of Long X Divide

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this western North Dakota landscape, anchoring a region defined by its conservation history and topographic complexity. This survey delineates the intricate boundaries of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the surrounding Little Missouri National Grassland. The terrain is characterized by the Long X Divide, which separates the drainage systems of Long Creek and Corral Creek. A network of backcountry routes, including the famed Maah Dah Hey Trl, Buckhorn Trl, and Achenbach Trl, provides access to the Theodore Roosevelt Wilderness. Notable landmarks like Cedar Canyon and Stevens Spring highlight the natural features of the North Dakota badlands. The map also records the section lines and township boundaries that structured the early ranching and public land management of McKenzie County.
