About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this corner of Fall River County, where the high plains transition into a complex system of ridges and seasonal watercourses. The 1982 survey reveals a landscape defined by significant geologic features such as Pine Ridge and Limestone Ridge, which provide verticality to the expansive grasslands. Hydrological patterns are clearly marked by the branching network of Blacktail Creek, including its North Fork, South Fork, and South Branch. These creeks, along with Kennedy Creek in the northwest, illustrate the natural drainage system of the area before modern extensive development. Prominent landmarks like Rock Butte and Slim Butte serve as navigational anchors across the open terrain, marking a territory where topography was the primary guide for ranchers and early travelers.
