From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oglala National Grassland is a United States National Grassland located in northwestern Nebraska. It is located in Sioux County near the border of South Dakota. It is 94,400 acres (382 kmĀ²) in size and is one of the small handful of National Grasslands administered by the US Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.
Oglala National Grassland is also home to some of the most striking badlands formations in Toadstool Geologic Park (near Crawford, Nebraska and Whitney, Nebraska). Additionally, the Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, also located on the grassland, is an archaeological excavation in progress. The grassland also contains the Agate, Bordgate, and Rock Bass reservoirs.
