About this map

The Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this portion of Fall River County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses. Drainage patterns are shaped by Tepee Cr in the north and the winding N Black Banks Cr and Ash Cr to the south. These seasonal streams, including Dry Cr and Beef Cr, illustrate the arid hydrology of the Great Plains, carving shallow valleys through the open grassland.

Human activity is primarily marked by a sparse road network that follows the township and range lines. Key routes like Maitland Rd, Co Rd 6, and Co Hwy 6F provide access across the prairie. The map provides a look at the land division and conservation boundaries within the Bgng in the early 21st century, showing how modern ranching and public land management coexist in this southwestern South Dakota landscape.
