About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this portion of the South Dakota landscape, where the Cheyenne River winds through the northwestern corner. The terrain is defined by a series of significant canyons and plateaus, including Jim Wilson Canyon, First Black Canyon, and the distinctively named Squaw-Humper Table. The White River Divide passes through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, marking a primary topographic boundary in the region.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are evident through the presence of the Angostura Canal and various creeks such as Lame Johnny Cr and W Fork Willow Cr. These features, alongside landmarks like Harrison Flat and Hay Canyon, illustrate the complex drainage systems that have shaped this open country. The intersection of Custer and Fall River Counties provides a political frame to this predominantly natural and agricultural expanse.
