About this map

Camp Crook serves as the primary settlement in this 1980 survey of the northwestern corner of South Dakota and the southern edge of North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Missouri River and the expansive reaches of the Custer National Forest, which is divided into distinct sections across the high plains. Small ranching communities like Ladner, Ludlow, and Reva anchor the surrounding territory, connected by state routes 85 and 20.

The presence of prominent landforms such as Table Mountain, Eagles Nest Butte, and Big Two Top Butte reveals the complex topography of the Harding County badlands and grasslands. Evidence of local industry and land management is visible through the Scoria Pits, various Mine sites, and the State Experiment Farm and Antelope Reserve. Water resources are critical in this arid region, highlighted by the Bowman-Haley Lake reservoir and the forks of the Grand River.
