Toadstool Park in 1905

Toadstool Geologic Park is located in the Oglala National Grassland in far northwestern Nebraska. It is operated by the United States Forest Service. It contains a badlands landscape and a reconstructed sod house.[1] The park is named after its unusual rock formations, many of which resemble toadstools.
