Land Use:
Practically all this area is in farms and ranches. Most of it is in native grasses and is used for grazing livestock. Some small nearly level to moderately sloping tracts are farmed to winter wheat or are used for producing feed crops for livestock. The Badlands National Monument is a large tourist attraction.
