About this map

Custer National Forest anchors the southeastern corner of this modern survey, where the North Cave Hills rise above the surrounding prairie. This high-plains landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages, including the headwaters of the N Fork Grand River and the winding paths of Lone Tree Cr and Crooked Cr. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Nelson Butte and Fuller Canyon, illustrating the transition from flat grasslands to the elevated formations characteristic of the western Dakotas.

Evidence of modern infrastructure and resource management is visible through roads like Co Hwy 733 and Griffin Rd, which provide access to the remote sections of Harding and Bowman counties. The presence of Eagles Spring and various named draws like Nursery Draw highlights the essential water sources that have sustained ranching and forestry in this cross-border region between South Dakota and North Dakota.
