About this map

Tepee Buttes and the high plains of McKenzie County dominate this 1990s landscape, where the public lands of the Little Missouri National Grassland meet the protected wilderness of the Badlands. The map reveals a remote ranching and conservation corridor, specifically where the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Unit) and the Theodore Roosevelt Wilderness establish a footprint in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of early 20th-century rural infrastructure persists through the locations of the Cherry Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch, alongside the Tepee Buttes Cem and Salem Cem. Water sources like Cherry Creek and Spring Creek wind through the breaks and buttes, including Clay Butte and Stony Johnny Butte. Modern industrial infrastructure is represented by the Northern Border Pipeline and a Scoria Pit, contrasting with the isolated G Wright Ranch.
