About this map

Slim Buttes and the Short Pine Hills anchor this high-plains landscape in the northwest corner of South Dakota, where the Custer National Forest protects isolated island ranges rising above the prairie. The settlement pattern is defined by sparse ranching outposts and post offices like Redig, Harding, and Hoover, connected by a network of gravel roads and state routes. A unique feature of the northern terrain is the State Experiment Farm and Antelope Reserve, established for agricultural research and wildlife management. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the sprawling headwaters of the Grand River and the Moreau River, which carve deep draws and coulees across the divide. Genealogists and local historians can trace the remnants of earlier settlement at the Murchison site and identify numerous named landmarks such as Castle Rock Butte and Square Top Butte that served as navigational beacons for early travellers.
