About this map

Red Stone Basin and the surrounding high plains of Jackson County characterize this landscape as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Red Stone Cr, Paulmyer Cr, and Deep Cr, which carve through the topography toward the regional tablelands. Significant landforms like Brown Flat and the prominent Cedar Butte serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated region.

Water management is evident through a series of named catchments, such as Red Rock Pond, Corral Pond, and Rock Hill Pond, likely supporting the ranching operations typical of the western South Dakota prairie. Aside from Pine Springs Rd, the area is largely defined by its natural features and the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the enduring grid of the American West near Badland Pond.
