About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this corner of the North Dakota badlands, anchoring a landscape defined by federal preservation and resource extraction. Significant portions of the territory are protected within Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the terrain rises to distinctive landmarks like Black Top Butte.

Modern industry is evident at the Elkhorn Ranch Oil Field in the northeast, contrasting with the wilderness character of the many drainage systems such as Roosevelt Cr, Mikes Cr, and Ellison Cr. The map reveals a sparse network of backroads, including E River Rd and Buckhorn Rd, which provide the only terrestrial access through this complex drainage basin just before the river turns toward its northern reaches.
