The Little Badlands define the rugged character of this Mellette County landscape, where deep topographic contours reveal the complex erosional patterns of the South Dakota plains. Settlement in this region is defined by large, isolated ranching operations such as the William Krogman Ranch, Egleston Ranch, and Wheeler Ranch. These family-named landholdings follow the natural drainages and breaks in the terrain, illustrating the legacy of the western ranching economy in the late twentieth century.
