About this map

Lodgepole serves as the primary settlement hub within this 1980s landscape of Perkins County, located along the winding course of Lodgepole Creek. The town is supported by essential community infrastructure including the Lodgepole Sch and a local Cem, reflecting a small-town character centered around local agriculture and water resources. The terrain is notably marked by the Lodgepole Dam, which manages the local drainage system as it flows toward the expansive public lands to the north.

Grand River National Grassland dominates the northern half of the map, illustrating the vast open-range conservation areas typical of the High Plains. To the northeast, the Vobejda Lake State Game Production Area provides a specialized habitat for local wildlife. The hydrology of the area is defined by seasonal waterways such as Billy Young Creek and Deer Creek, while several marked Well sites point to the region's reliance on groundwater for ranching operations.
