About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders across this northern Crook County landscape, defining a network of drainages and seasonal water sources. Modern ranching and land management are evident through the presence of the TL Reservoir and Bush Reservoir, which capture runoff in an arid environment. The topography is dominated by significant erosional features including Wood Canyon and North Wood Canyon, alongside numerous named coulees such as Wallace Draw and Hoback Draw.

Infrastructure is sparse and functional, centered on unpaved access routes like Little Missouri Rd and Mule Creek Rd. The inclusion of Landing Strip Draw suggests historical or modern aviation use for remote land access. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of water rights and terrain in a region where seasonal creeks like Mule Cr and Dinky Cr dictate the utility of the land.
