About this map

The Grand River National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of this prairie landscape, where the rolling plains are dissected by a network of drainage creeks. These seasonal watercourses, including Cottonwood Creek and Whitney Creek in the north and Darling Creek to the south, define the topography of the Rock Creek District. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road grid typical of the Great Plains, anchored by Athboy Rd and numerical routes like 198th Ave and 200th Ave. Black Horse Butte Creek winds through the center of the sheet, providing a primary geographic reference for the open rangeland. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of federal land management and rural ranching infrastructure in western South Dakota.
