About this map

Badlands National Park and the Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominate this section of the South Dakota landscape, characterized by dramatic plateaus and deeply eroded drainages. The prominent Sheep Mtn Table serves as a central geological anchor, flanked by other flat-topped elevations such as Hart Table to the north and Heck Table in the northeast. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent watercourses, including Indian Cr and Cain Cr, which have carved out the complex topography of Spring Draw.

A notable legacy of the region's mid-century history is preserved in the name of Bombing Range road, reflecting the area's use for military training. The map also captures the stark transition across the Pennington and Oglala Lakota County line. Isolated landmarks like Cedar Butte and the remote corridor of Temple Rd provide specific points of reference for those navigating this expansive western environment.
