2021 Map of Philip Junction

About this map

Philip Junction stands as a focal point at the intersection of rural routes and the county line between Haakon and Jackson counties. This 2021 survey illustrates a sprawling landscape dominated by the southern reaches of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the intermittent flow of Brady Cr and the etched paths of Yellow Draw and Dugout Draw. The map documents the persistent township and range grid system, with roads such as Co Rd Ch 5 and various county-designated routes like CS 18 and CS 26 providing access to the wide-open high plains. This contemporary study is particularly useful for understanding modern land management and boundaries within the grassland and surrounding private ranching lands.
