Dakota Buttes Visitors Council welcomes you to the center of the Northern Plains, a rugged section of Badlands, buttes and fertile grasslands, where cattle and sheep graze and deer, antelope and buffalo still roam. Bordered by North and South Dakota towns of Hettinger, Lemmon, Bison and Buffalo, this is where Native American people held the last hunts of the majestic, wild buffalo that once roamed the grasslands in great herds.
