1997 Map of Spring Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the northwestern portion of this landscape, carving a valley across the expansive Little Missouri National Grassland. This 1990s-era revision shows a terrain defined by isolated livestock operations and scattered water sources in the high plains of Slope County. Isolated ranching outposts such as Johnson Ranch, Van Daele Ranch, and the Szymanski Ranch are linked by a network of unimproved trails and four-wheel-drive tracks, reflecting the sparse settlement pattern of western North Dakota. Hydrological features like Spring Creek and Spring Coulee provide essential drainage for the surrounding plateaus. Precise surveying lines are documented through the Sixteenth Guide Meridian West, which bisects the quadrangle between the Richland Center and Sunshine administrative districts, illustrating the continuing importance of the Public Land Survey System in managing these open lands.
