2014 Map of Scairt Woman Draw

About this map

The Scairt Woman Oil Field sits within a complex drainage system in this portion of the Little Missouri National Grassland. Spanning the boundary between McKenzie and Billings counties, the landscape is defined by the namesake Scairt Woman Draw and a network of watercourses including Beicegel Cr, Magpie Cr, and North Cr. The terrain is marked by the distinct draws and coulees characteristic of the western North Dakota badlands, where industrial activity from the oil field meets protected federal lands. Local transportation is limited to rural routes such as Upper Magpie Rd and 70th St, which provide access through the rolling topography. This survey captures the specialized infrastructure of energy extraction situated within the expansive open range of the national grassland.
