About this map

Working ranches and carved coulees define this corner of the North Dakota badlands. Named operations such as the Wheeling-Hatter Ranch, L Ronningen Ranch, and the Interstate Land and Cattle company highlight the livestock economy that persists in the 21st century. The landscape is deeply incised by drainage systems like Bennie Peer Creek and One-O-One Creek, which feed into various draws across the terrain.

The presence of features like Badlands Draw and East Fork Badlands Draw alongside Spring Creek illustrates a complex topographic network where water has shaped the high plains. Local geography is further marked by family-named landmarks such as the H Wersiano Ranch and R Hotter Ranch, providing specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and ownership in the Phillip Spring area.
