1997 Map of Wannagan Creek West

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this landscape in western North Dakota, where the drainages of Wannagan Creek and Little Wannagan Creek carve through the high plains. Revised in the late 1990s by the USDA Forest Service, the map highlights the intricate relationship between water and the cattle-grazing economy of the Badlands, evidenced by scattered improvements like Roselle Spring and several unnamed Wells. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as East Twin Butte, while the rugged path of the Maah Hey Dahl Trail winds across the eastern sections. This survey provides an essential view of the boundary between Golden Valley and Billings counties, capturing a network of unimproved roads and seasonal waterways like Winter Creek that sustain this high-desert environment.
