About this map

Trotters serves as the focal point of this western North Dakota landscape, situated near the boundary between McKenzie and Golden Valley counties. This high plains region is dominated by the Little Missouri National Grassland, where a sparse network of section-line roads and drainage-fed creek beds defines the local geography. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the N Fork Smith Cr and S Fork Smith Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside Horse Cr and O'Neil Cr.

Genealogical and local history interest is anchored by the South Side Cem, located south of the main settlement. The road network, including Blacktail Rd, Tescher Rd, and Pearl Rd, indicates the enduring township structure of this ranching and grassland area. The map's layout reflects the sprawling nature of the Great Plains, where distances are marked by named roads like Vinquist Rd and the persistent flow of ephemeral watercourses like C S Cr.
