2014 Map of Three V Crossing

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, carving a complex network of drainages across the Little Missouri National Grassland. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region where the geography is defined by its watercourses and the remote cattle-ranching infrastructure of the northern plains. The settlement at Three V Crossing serves as a primary point of interest along the river, linked to the wider region by a handful of established routes including Johnson Rd and the distinctly named Vvv Rd. Tributaries such as Williams Cr and Bull Run Cr feed into the river valley, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of the badlands terrain. The map also delineates the boundary between Golden Valley and Slope Counties, providing a clear view of how political divisions overlay this expansive natural territory.
