1998 Map of Bison NW

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates this corner of Perkins County, revealing a vast landscape defined by open range and historic family ranching operations. The map documents a series of established homesteads, including L Archibald Ranch, D Archibald Ranch, and the P Miller Ranch, illustrating the sparse but enduring settlement patterns of the South Dakota plains. Water resources are central to life here, with Lodgepole Creek and Burdick Creek threading through the northern townships while the South Fork Grand River flows along the southern boundary. Significant topographic divisions are noted through traditional names like Pleasant Valley and White Butte. The presence of the Fifth Standard Parallel North and the lone Gravel Pit further mark the intersection of formal government surveying and local industry in the late 20th century.
