2017 Map of Heinne Creek

About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this South Dakota landscape, where the high plains transition across the border into Nebraska. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Slim Butte Cr and Heinne Cr, which carve through the arid topography. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region primarily managed for conservation and grazing, with Lone Butte serving as a prominent local landmark near the northern boundary. The map captures the meeting point of Fall River Co and Dawes Co along the state line, revealing a remote infrastructure of forest and county roads such as Co HWY 3 and FR 3a. This modern topographic study provides an essential record of the prairie environment and public land management in the northern Great Plains.
