2024 Map of West Fork Deep Creek

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland tracts dominate this corner of the North Dakota badlands, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Deep Creek system. The topography is shaped by the West Fork Deep Creek and East Fork Deep Creek, which carve through the high plains to create a network of coulees and ridges. This map documents the remote borderland where the Slope Co Bowman Co line divides the terrain, providing a contemporary view of land management and access in a region primarily used for grazing and conservation. Sparse infrastructure consists mostly of section-line roads like 156th Ave SW and 154th Ave SW, reflecting the enduring rural character of the southwestern corner of the state.
