2024 Map of Three V Crossing

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a distinct path through the federally managed Little Missouri National Grassland. This 2024 survey documents the remote badlands region where the Golden Valley and Slope County line divides the terrain. The drainage patterns are defined by significant tributaries including Williams Creek in the northwest and Bull Run Creek further south. The map reflects a modern infrastructure of rural access roads, such as Vvv Rd and Vv Rd, which facilitate movement through the protected grasslands. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, shown here across townships like t136n r105w and t135n r104w. This contemporary record captures the current state of conservation lands and hydrology in one of North Dakota's most iconic natural environments.
