2017 Map of Conata NE

About this map

Badlands National Park and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominate this section of western South Dakota, where the intricate erosional features of the high plains meet the valley of the White River. The settlement of Interior is positioned near the northeastern edge of the sheet, serving as a gateway to the complex terrain. The map captures a landscape defined by the sharp transition between the dissected plateaus and the winding course of the river, which is joined from the south by Potato Cr. Transportation through this remote topography is facilitated by SN 44 and various routes like Bia Rd, providing access to the sprawling public lands that characterize the region. This survey illustrates the relationship between the dramatic Badlands formations and the ranching and conservation lands that surround them.
