2024 Map of Long X Divide

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this North Dakota landscape, serving as the central artery for the preserved lands of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This 2024 survey documents the complex interface between protected wilderness and the expansive Little Missouri National Grassland. A dense network of paths, including the Maah Daah Hey Trl, Buckhorn Trl, and Achenbach Trl, reveals how the area is navigated today, tracing the high ridges of the Long X Divide. The map highlights the sharp transitions between canyon floors and plateaus, punctuated by landmarks like Cedar Canyon and Stevens Spring. This modern record of McKenzie County maintains the legacy of the Public Land Survey System, showing township boundaries such as t148n r99w that remain foundational to land management in the American West.
