About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates the western portion of this landscape, where the Grand River cuts a winding path through the prairie. In the late 20th century, this area of Perkins County remained characterized by isolated agricultural homesteads and distinct topographical landmarks. Notable family operations include the M Hulm Ranch, P Siedel Ranch, and G Williams Ranch, providing specific locations for genealogical research into the region's ranching history. The terrain is defined by the Boxcar Buttes and a network of drainages including Butcher Creek, Hart Creek, and Big Meadow Creek. These watercourses and named ranch sites reflect a sparse but established settlement pattern where land use was primarily dictated by the availability of water and grazing land.
