2014 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of Slope County, where the high plains break into the drainage of the Little Missouri River. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and dry-country watercourses, most notably the meandering Spring Cr and the topographic indentation of Spring Coulee. The terrain is sparsely settled, with the local transportation network limited to established routes like Johnson Rd and Rhame Rd that cut through the open rangeland. This map provides a detailed look at the North Dakota badlands environment before modern industrial or residential expansion, showing a territory where the natural contours of the grassland and the river's path remain the primary geographic features.
