2017 Map of Imlay

About this map

Imlay sits at the intersection of protected federal lands and the high prairie plateau of western South Dakota. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the plateaus of Keester Table and Hunt Table and the deep drainage networks carved by Big Hollow Cr and Cain Cr. The map captures the boundary between Pennington Co and Oglala Lakota Co, highlighting a region where public lands like Badlands National Park and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominate the geography. Transport through this rugged country is primarily facilitated by SN 44, which winds across the northern townships. The intricate contour lines illustrate the classic badlands topography, where flat-topped mesas drop sharply into complex ravine systems including Wind Cr and Clifford Cr.
