About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the elevation drops into a series of complex drainages. The topography is defined by numerous draws, including Swinehart Draw and Van Lone Draw in the north, which channel water toward the central course of Rapid Creek. This waterway serves as the primary hydrological feature, winding through the center of the sheet and influencing the placement of local roads such as Farmingdale-Folsom Rd.

To the southwest, the Railroad Buttes provide a prominent topographical landmark above the surrounding plains. The map details a network of rural section-line roads like New Underwood Rd S and Quistman Rd, illustrating the structured land management in this part of Pennington County. Small-scale features like Elkhorn Draw and Lindsey Draw further highlight the intricate erosion patterns characteristic of the western South Dakota prairie.
