About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates this portion of northern South Dakota, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Grand River and its seasonal drainage, Cottonwood Cr. The map shows a region characterized by expansive public lands and cattle country, structured by the Public Land Survey System. The few established transportation routes, such as Hudgins Rd, underscore the low-density settlement pattern of the area. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the intricate topography of the grassland, showing the elevation changes and drainage basins that have shaped ranching and land use in this part of Perkins Co.
