2014 Map of Waterhole Creek

About this map

Fertile Prairie Cem stands as a focal point for local heritage in this stretch of the High Plains, where the borders of Fallon County, Montana, and Slope and Bowman counties, North Dakota, meet. The landscape is defined by the expansive Little Missouri National Grassland, which dominates the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This open country is carved by a network of seasonal drainages, including Waterhole Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Corral Cr. Historically significant routes like Mink Trl and Buffalo Jump Trl intersect the area, suggesting long-standing travel corridors through the plains. The modern corridor of Us-12 cuts diagonally across the terrain, linking the scattered prairie landmarks and providing the primary access through this remote borderland region.
