About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the northern half of this landscape, where the prairie meets the intricate drainage systems of the White River valley. The terrain is defined by the prominent Bouquet Table, a high plateau that stands above the complex network of ravines and creek beds. Water management in this arid environment is visible at the Sage Creek Reservoir, situated just north of the state highway.

The map reveals a transition between Pennington and Oglala Lakota counties, illustrating how modern infrastructure like Sn 44 and Bouquet Table Rd bisects the historical township and range sections. The southern portion of the quadrangle is deeply etched by the meandering courses of Cain Cr and Clifford Cr, leading toward the White River in the southeast. This geography highlights the significance of elevated landforms for navigation and grazing in western South Dakota.
