2011 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders across the northwestern corner of this landscape, anchoring a rural ranching territory in Slope County. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Spring Creek, which flows southward through the center of the sheet, supported by local water management features like the Davis Dam. This area is characterized by large, isolated agricultural holdings and private estates, reflecting the modern ranching economy of western North Dakota. Named family landmarks such as the Johnson Ranch, Van Doele Ranch, and Seymanski Ranch indicate established land ownership patterns, while Rhame Rd provides the primary north-south transit corridor. The map effectively documents the distribution of ranch headquarters and the intricate network of coulees and secondary waterways, including Spring Coulee, that shape the grazing lands east of the main river valley.
