About this map

Badlands National Park and Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominate this Pennington County landscape, where erosion has carved a complex network of canyons and plateaus. The topography is defined by significant natural depressions, including the prominent Tyree Basin and Sage Creek Basin to the north, and Conata Basin situated in the southeast corner. These features illustrate the dramatic geological transition between the high prairie and the severely eroded badlands formations.

Hydrological patterns are established by the Middle Fork Sage Cr and Sage Cr, which wind through the basins and provide the primary drainage for the area. Connectivity across this challenging terrain is maintained by unpaved routes such as the Sage Creek Rim Rd and Huether Rd, while Sage Creek Pass offers a natural transit point through the breaks. This survey provides a precise look at the land division and natural boundaries during the early twenty-first century.
