About this postcard

A pronghorn stands in the foreground of an eroded Badlands landscape, with the highway visible in the distance. The scene is on the Badlands Highway in Badlands National Monument, South Dakota. The monument, established in 1929, protected the layered rock formations and mixed-grass prairie of the South Dakota badlands, and pronghorn were a familiar sight to motorists crossing the region.
