2020 Map of Three V Crossing

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this western North Dakota landscape, where the meandering Little Missouri River carves through the badlands. This modern topographical study highlights the rugged drainage basins of Williams Cr and Bull Run Cr, which feed into the river from the west. The area straddles the county line between Golden Valley and Slope counties, providing a clear view of the public land survey system grid, including townships t136n r105w and t135n r104w. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural routes such as Johnson Rd and VV Rd, reflecting the remote nature of these grazing lands. The map detail illustrates how the river's path dictates the topography, creating a complex series of draws and ridges within the Little Missouri NG.
