About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates the eastern half of this landscape, marking the rugged transition where the high plains of Montana meet the North Dakota border. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, anchored by Bull Butte in the northwest and a network of seasonal drainages that shape the local geography. Watercourses like Poison Spring Cr and Deadman Cr carve through the draws, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated land use and ranching boundaries in this arid region.

Transportation through this borderland relies on a sparse grid of rural routes, including MT-261 and local thoroughfares such as Skarre Rd and CR-108. The map clearly delineates the complex administrative boundaries of the area, showing where Richland and McKenzie Counties meet along the state line, and where Wibaux County begins to the south. This survey captures a specific moment in the management of these public lands and the infrastructure supporting the remote agricultural community.
