About this map

The Grand River National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape in Perkins County, where the sprawling waters of the Shadehill Reservoir reach into the prairie. The map records the hydrography of the region, including the winding course of the South Fork Grand River and its tributaries like Lodgepole Creek and Butcher Creek.

For researchers of local history and family genealogy, the map identifies several rural landmarks that anchor the landscape. These include the Rosebud Lutheran Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and the Selm Cem located near the river fork. The road network, consisting of thoroughfares such as White Butte Road and Bald Butte Road, traces the section lines that define the agricultural and grazing character of this North Dakota border region.
