2014 Map of Wolf Coulee

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland encompasses this high-plains landscape in McKenzie County, defined by a complex network of drainages and weathered terrain. The map's central feature, Wolf Coulee, cuts through the land alongside Beicegel Cr, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns characteristic of the North Dakota badlands. This modern survey shows a sparsely populated area where the natural geography remains the dominant feature, marked primarily by watercourses such as Bummer Cr, Bennett Cr, and Sheep Cr. Human infrastructure is limited to rural routes like Co Rte 50 and localized terrain landmarks such as Maverick Flat. For researchers, the map provides a precise view of the topography and hydrology before further contemporary development, focusing on the preserved public lands of the northern Missouri River watershed.
