2017 Map of Scenic SW

About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this corner of Pennington and Custer Counties, preserving a landscape defined by the high plateaus of Kube Table and Hart Table. The Cheyenne River snakes through the center of the sheet, its course fed by seasonal drainages like Spring Cr and Indian Cr. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse, ranching-oriented infrastructure of the region, where gravel routes such as Co Hwy 121 and Indian Creek Rd provide the primary access to cattle country. Notable landmarks for local history include Brown Field and several distinct geological flats like Phiney Flat. The map effectively documents the intersection of public grasslands and private landholdings, revealing the unique topography of the draws, such as Cole Draw and Ralph Draw, that carve through the high tablelands.
