2011 Map of Wannagan Creek East

About this map

Wolf Ranch and McLeod Ranch occupy the northern reaches of this Billings County landscape, where the meandering Little Missouri River carves through the terrain. The map reveals a pattern of isolated ranching outposts established near reliable water sources like Wannagan Creek and Franks Creek. Notable topographic features such as Grassy Butte in the northwest and Pikes Peak near the river highlight the distinct elevation changes of the Little Missouri Badlands. These landforms, along with named draws like Hay Draw and Wolf Draw, dictate the path of local routes such as E River Rd and Wannagan Creek Rd. The distribution of family-named sites, including W Myers Ranch and Mosser Ranch, provides a detailed look at the rural settlement and land use within this portion of the Badlands during the early 21st century.
