Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this McKenzie County landscape, where the intersection of ranching traditions and petroleum development defines the local economy during the late twentieth century. Family-held lands such as H Wheeling Ranch, Kupper HQ Ranch, and M-Leland Ranch are interspersed with the infrastructure of the Bicentennial Oil Field, reflecting the multi-use character of the North Dakota badlands. In the north, the small settlement of Squaw Gap serves as a local landmark near the headwaters of Spring Creek. Social and community history is preserved through the locations of rural infrastructure like the Plainview Sch and Sunny Side Cem. The presence of several Scoria Pits further indicates the geological resources utilized for road building and maintenance in this remote ranching district.
