About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of McKenzie County, where the high plains transition into the drainages of the Missouri River watershed. The landscape is defined by the erosion patterns of Horse Cr, Johntown Cr, and the W Br Charbonneau Cr, which carve through the prairie to create distinctive landforms like Vanderhoof Coulee. Prominent elevations such as Eagle Butte and Sheep Butte serve as local landmarks across the open terrain.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement remains at the Highland Cem along Co RD 13. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey also highlights Sather Lake, a focal point for water management and recreation within the federal grasslands. The map's grid layout reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System, which organized this remote cattle-ranching and conservation territory into regular townships and sections.
