Nearest Town: Buffalo, Harding County, SD Ecoregion: Typical Northern Great Plains Steppe Aquatic Ecological System Type: D005-Northwestern Great Plains Intermittent Stream trending toward E005 with a loss of connectivity to downstream fish colonization Key Environmental Factors: Hydrology—upstream dams or diversions in the watershed; Grazing— moderate impacts Rare or Unique Species: Snapping turtle was found dead on road near bridge (Figure 54). Rare Features: No rare features documented Introduced/Exotic Species: None Overall Ecological Site Condition: Fair Reach Summary: The 50 m reach consisted of 1 run/pool complex with the lower pool being -15m long and produced by an earthen uprising (probably old cattle hummocking) and containing the only fish holding habitat except for an artificially produced bridge pool not in the reach. This stream reach has sparse aquatic habitat and low species diversity (1 fish species). The first run/pool complex proceeding 53
