About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the eastern half of this borderlands map, where the high plains of South Dakota meet the Wyoming line. The landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages, including the multi-pronged Little Cottonwood Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which have carved out distinct topographical features like Hollingsworth Draw and Eldrige Draw.

Settlement is sparse in this arid terrain, with Coffee Flats marking a key geographic point near the northern edge. Water management for livestock or local use is evident through man-made features such as Big Jordy Number 1 Reservoir and Alum Creek Number 1 Reservoir. The state line between Wyoming and South Dakota runs north-south, bisecting the survey area and separating Niobrara and Fall River counties.
