About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this section of Custer County, showing a landscape defined by its open range and drainage systems. The Cheyenne River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries including Cottonwood Cr and S Fork French Cr. These watercourses have carved distinct features into the topography, such as Spring Canyon and the high ground of Tahc'a Okute Aglehan.

Settlement is sparse in this modern survey, centered primarily around Harrison Flat in the southwestern quadrant. The infrastructure is characterized by a network of local routes like Co HWY 21 and Riverside Rd, which connect isolated parcels of private land within the federal grassland boundaries. This map provides a detailed view of the interface between protected public lands and rural ranching geography in South Dakota.
