1997 Map of Sperati Point

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of McKenzie County, defining the complex boundaries of Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Unit). This late 20th-century landscape is a patchwork of conservation and agricultural use, where the Theodore Roosevelt Wilderness and Little Missouri National Grassland meet established homesteads. Notable high points like Sperati Point and the Achenback Hills overlook a terrain marked by natural springs such as Hagan Spring and Mondal Spring. The presence of the Maah Hey Trail and several family holdings, including A Larson Ranch and the Ceynar Ranch, illustrates the ongoing balance between the cattle industry and the preservation of the Badlands environment.
