About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the northern landscape of this South Dakota quadrangle, where the Pennington and Jackson County line bisects a terrain defined by complex drainage patterns. The White River meanders across the central portion of the map, carving a distinctive valley that serves as a focal point for local geography and historic land use. To the south, the winding course of Potato Cr cuts through a highly dissected badlands topography, illustrating the erosive forces characteristic of the region. Transportation in this early 21st-century survey is represented by rural routes like Sn 44 and the Agate North Trl, which provide access through the grasslands. The boundary for Interior appears in the northeast, marking the proximity of established settlement to the open grazing lands and watercourses that have historically shaped this part of the Great Plains.
