About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this section of Jackson County, South Dakota, representing a vast expanse of public grazing lands managed for conservation and agricultural use. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Big Buffalo Cr and Little Buffalo Cr, which carve through the prairie terrain in the northern sections. To the south, the topography becomes more complex as Fifteen Cr meanders through more broken ground. The map details the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered on Fairview Rd and the prominent elevation of Washburn Ridge. This survey provides a precise view of section lines and township boundaries, such as t2s r19e, which are essential for understanding local land ownership and the historical Public Land Survey System in the Great Plains.
