2021 Map of Glad Valley

About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates the northern landscape of this rural plains region, where the prairie topography is defined by the branching drainages of the Twin Butte Creek system. The small settlement of Glad Valley sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the sheet, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. The terrain exhibits the characteristic drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains, with the W Fork E Twin Butte Cr and E Fork E Twin Butte Gr carving shallow valleys through the open grassland. This 2021 digital survey documents the modern boundary between Corson and Ziebach counties, reflecting a landscape where legacy land divisions and natural watercourses remain the primary features of interest for local researchers and land historians.
