2018 Map of Three V Crossing

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a complex network of drainages and coulees along the border of Golden Valley and Slope Counties. This 2018 survey captures a vast section of the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the terrain is defined by the erosion of the Badlands. The namesake Three V Crossing provides a key point of reference on the river, connected by a network of ranch and forest roads like Vvv Rd and Vv Rd. Tributaries such as Bull Run Cr and Williams Cr cut through the high plateaus, illustrating the dramatic topography of western North Dakota. This modern map serves as a detailed inventory of public land management boundaries and primitive road networks in a largely uninhabited but topographically intricate region.
