About this map

Custer National Forest anchors the southeastern corner of this map, where the high-relief landscape of the North Cave Hills meets the grasslands of the Great Plains. The topography here is defined by sharp draws and canyons, including Fuller Canyon and Nursery Draw, which provide critical drainage for the surrounding tablelands. This landscape is a remote cattle-grazing and public land area along the state line where Bowman County, North Dakota, meets Harding County, South Dakota.

Water sources are central to this arid environment, marked by the presence of Eagles Nest Spring and the winding courses of Lone Tree Cr and the N Fork Grand River. Long straight township roads like Griffin Rd and Cox Rd cut through the sections, following the Public Land Survey System grid. In the southwest, the singular prominence of Nelson Butte stands as a landmark above the Crooked Cr and Staadt Cr drainages.
