About this map

Eagles Nest Butte rises above the high plains where the border of North Dakota and South Dakota meets the line between Bowman and Harding counties. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Grand River and a series of vital water sources including Cox Spring, McCumsey Spring, and Paul Spring.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Custer National Forest encompasses the North Cave Hills, where complex terrain features such as Fuller Canyon, Coal Gulch, and Fuller Pass predominate. This 2015 survey details a remote ranching and conservation environment, anchored by the Grand River Cem in the north and a grid of rural routes like Eagles Nest Rd and Cox Rd that connect the isolated springs and creeks across the state line.
