About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Custer County landscape, where the prairie transitions through complex drainages. This modern survey illustrates the intricate watershed formed by Cottonwood Cr, S Fork French Cr, and Lame Johnny Cr, which carve through the high plains. The transport network is defined by rural arteries like S Fairburn Rd and the Cottonwood Cutoff, reflecting the enduring cattle-ranching and grassland management patterns of Western South Dakota. Small pockets of Bgng (Buffalo Gap National Grassland) land are interspersed throughout the northern sections, showing the mosaic of public and private land typical of the region. The map also traces the path of Old Hwy 79 S, providing a point of reference for those studying historical travel routes through the Black Hills periphery.
