2020 Map of Waterhole Creek

About this map

The high plains of the Montana and North Dakota border converge in this area, where the Little Missouri National Grassland dominates the eastern landscape. This remote terrain is defined by its drainage systems, with Waterhole Creek and Corral Creek cutting through the open country. The presence of the Fertile Prairie Cem suggests the historical footprint of early homesteaders and ranching families who settled this arid environment. Transportation through this borderland is limited to a few specific corridors like Oilwell Rd and historical paths including the Buffalo Jump Trl and Mink Trl. The map illustrates the complex intersection of county lines, where Fallon County in Montana meets Slope and Bowman Counties in North Dakota, reflecting the administrative challenges of managing this expansive prairie.
