1974 Map of Scairt Woman Draw

About this map

Beicegel Creek meanders through the northern badlands landscape where McKenzie County meets Billings County. This mid-1970s survey captures a sparsely settled area defined by its complex drainage network, including the eponymous Scairt Woman Draw and Camp Creek. The presence of the Trotter Sch suggests a focal point for the ranching community in this period, while the Scoria Pit indicates local mineral extraction or road-building activity within the Rhoades area. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where southern-flowing waters like Magpie Creek and Spring Creek begin to carve through the high plains, providing a clear record of land use and geography before further modernization of the North Dakota ranchlands.
