2020 Map of West of Flat Rock Butte

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this section of McKenzie County, where the topography is defined by the drainage basins of Spring Cr and Poison Spring Cr. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching or farming landscape where local landmarks like Squaw Gap Cem and Sunny Side Cem provide important genealogical touchstones for families of the western Dakota plains. A network of rural routes, including Flat Rock Rd and 15th St NW, connects the section lines and provides access across the various townships. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of the Badlands region, showing how the drainage of One-O-One Cr and O'Neil Cr shapes the movement and settlement patterns across the grassland today.
