1960 Map of Cottonwood SW

About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the northern half of this Jackson County landscape, while the southern portion transitions into the eroded formations of Badlands National Monument. The settlement of Cactus Flats serves as a small waypoint along the highway, positioned near a local pit and a Gravel Pit. The terrain is marked by dramatic elevation changes, including Big Foot Hill and Millard Ridge, which overlook the winding path of Big Buffalo Creek. Several points identified as Scenic Overlook provide views across the rugged badlands topography. The map also delineates the northern boundary of Interior, showing a network of secondary roads and a Jeep Trail that penetrate the remote grasslands and monument lands, illustrating the region's sparse development and focus on land conservation during the mid-20th century.
