About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this corner of Fall River County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages. The hydrology of the region is centered on the various branches of Black Banks Creek, including N Black Banks Creek and S Black Banks Creek, which cut through the terrain alongside other seasonal waterways like Horsehead Creek and Beef Creek.

Human presence is marked primarily by an organized grid of section roads such as Hard Scrabble Road and County Highway 5. Local landmarks that anchor the map's geography include the Hillcrest Cemetery and Bogner Field, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing land use in this part of South Dakota. The survey also notes distinct natural features such as Antelope Hollow, reflecting the traditional wildlife and landform names of the western plains.
