About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates this portion of Perkins County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Grand River. The topography is marked by significant drainages including Lodgepole Cr and Butcher Cr, which feed into the large Shadehill Reservoir in the northeast. This 2015 update reflects a sparsely settled ranching landscape where local history is anchored by small, remote burial sites. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Norwegian Cem near the western boundary and the Sein Cem situated centrally within the grassland. The grid of section lines and rural routes like Pleasant Ridge Rd and Bald Butte Rd provide the primary framework for navigating this expansive territory.
