About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates this corner of Perkins County, where the North Fork Grand River and Grand River converge. The landscape is defined by the widespread distribution of individual homesteads and cattle operations rather than concentrated townships, reflecting the late-century ranching economy of the Dakotas. Named family holdings like K Krisle Ranch, B Barnhart Ranch, and H Udahl Ranch are scattered across the drainage of Lodgepole Creek and the surrounding draws.

Conservation areas including the Humphrey Draw Wildlife Area and Pasture 5-A Wildlife Area underscore the region's focus on land management and habitat protection. High points such as Castle Butte and White Butte provide orientation across the expansive prairie. For the genealogist, the map identifies numerous specific ranch sites, including G Evridge Ranch and E Johnson Ranch, situated near a Gravel Pit and the rugged terrain of Humphrey Draw.
