2021 Map of Quinn Table SE

About this map

Badlands National Park dominates the northern half of this landscape, where the high prairie of the Quinn Table breaks into the intricate erosional features of the White River Badlands. The drainage network is defined by Middle Fork Sage Cr and Sage Cr, which carve through the distinct topographic depressions of Sage Creek Basin and Tyree Basin. Crossing the center of the sheet, Sage Creek Pass serves as a natural transition point through the broken terrain. To the south, the protected prairies of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland extend toward the Conata Basin, showing the remote character of Pennington County. The presence of Huether Rd provides the primary corridor through this sparsely populated ranching and conservation area, illustrating the intersection of federal land management and local transit in western South Dakota.
