1979 Map of Three V Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the western North Dakota landscape, defining the topography where Golden Valley and Slope counties meet. This 1970s landscape is characterized by the ranching culture of the Badlands, anchored by the Three V Ranch and its namesake river passage at Three V Crossing. The map reveals a complex network of intermittent water sources, including Williams Creek, Bull Run Creek, and Deer Creek, which drain the broken terrain toward the river valley. Numerous sites labeled Well and Flowing Well are scattered across the quadrangle, underscoring the critical importance of water management for livestock in the semi-arid northern plains. The southeastern portion of the sheet includes the landform known as Sunshine, situated amongst the intricate drainage patterns that have carved this section of the river basin.
