About this map

The White River carves through the southern edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between Lyman and Tripp counties. This portion of the northern plains is defined by a series of intermittent drainages and modest landforms, such as Red Butte and the winding course of Bad Cr. The arrangement of section lines and gravel roads, including Schelske Rd and Brule Rd, reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System that dictates the placement of rural homesteads and agricultural operations.

Two burial grounds serve as significant landmarks for genealogists and local historians: Trinity - Old Lutheran Cem and Huffnungs Cem. These sites, along with the proximity of Heap Lake, suggest a community structure rooted in early pioneer settlement patterns. The terrain transitions from the flatter uplands in the north to the more complex, eroded breaks near the White River valley in the south.
