About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the erosion patterns of several major drainages. The Rapid Creek corridor cuts across the central section, flanked by a network of named draws including Lindsey Draw and Elkhorn Draw. These features reflect the complex watershed that feeds into the creek system in this corner of the state.

Transport and access are defined by a grid of rural routes such as Farmingdale-Folsom Rd and Underwood South Rd, which navigate around prominent landmarks like the Railroad Buttes. The interplay of these roads with the designated national grassland boundaries shows the managed nature of the land in the early 21st century. Further geographic detail is found in the naming of smaller coulees and valleys like Swinehart Draw and Cole Draw, which serve as vital reference points for local navigation and land management.
