2024 Map of Rocky Ridge South

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of the western North Dakota badlands, showing a complex landscape of drainage networks and public land boundaries. The map tracks the headwaters and winding paths of several watercourses, including Philbrick Creek in the northeast and the parallel courses of Second Creek and First Creek which carve through the high plateaus of Slope County. This modern survey reflects the contemporary management of the grasslands, with an intricate system of numbered Forest Service routes like 769 and 7697 providing access to the interior. The Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t136n r101w and t136n r100w, provides the underlying structure for this sparsely populated ranching and conservation territory.
