About the Badlands National Park topo map
Badlands National Park is in Pennington County, South Dakota. The Badlands National Park topo map shows the shape of the land the park protects, its ridges, valleys, bluffs and shorelines, drawn from USGS elevation data.
This design uses contour lines every 40 feet, a map about 15.5 miles across, 850 feet of relief inside the frame. Every fifth line is drawn heavier, as on a USGS quad, so the shape reads from across the room.
