2020 Map of Roosevelt Creek East

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this portion of Billings County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous local tributaries. The landscape is dominated by the protected expanses of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the northwest and the expansive Little Missouri National Grassland throughout the central and southern sections. Topographic variations are anchored by landmarks like Black Top Butte, which rises above the surrounding badlands and prairie. A sparse network of rural routes, including E River Rd and Blacktail Rd, provides access to the remote river valley and the drainages of Blacktail Cr, Mikes Cr, and Roosevelt Cr. The map captures the specialized land management of the North Dakota badlands, where public conservation lands and national park boundaries intersect with the natural flow of the Little Missouri watershed.
