About this map

The Cheyenne River carves a winding path through this western South Dakota landscape, defining the boundaries between Pennington, Custer, and Oglala Lakota counties. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of significant public lands, including the rugged eastern margins of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland and the northern reaches of Badlands National Park.

Erosion has sculpted the terrain into a series of named mesas and canyons, most notably Plenty Star Table and Blindman Table. These high points overlook a network of seasonal drainages such as Battle Creek Canyon, Little Corral Draw, and Quinn Draw. The geography shown reflects a vast, undeveloped territory where land use is primarily governed by federal conservation and indigenous management, with the Battle Cr confluence serving as a major hydrologic landmark in the southwestern quadrant.
