About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this section of the high plains along the state line between South Dakota and Nebraska. This portion of Fall River County and Sioux County is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Hay Cr and Mule Cr, which carve through the open grassland. The terrain is marked by significant features like Lightning Draw and S Long Hollow Cr, illustrating the erosional patterns of this arid landscape. Transport across this sparsely populated region is facilitated by Co Hwy 5, which runs east-west across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the specialized land management and water-drainage systems that support livestock grazing in this transition zone between the Black Hills and the Nebraska panhandle.
