It TOTALLY isn't flat!
I've been there several times:
"The term "badlands" represents a consensus in North America: the Lakota called the topography "mako sika" and Spanish colonists called it malpaís, both literally bad land, while French trappers called it "les mauvaises terres à traverser" - "the bad lands to cross". The term is also apt: badlands contain steep slopes, loose dry soil, slick clay, and deep sand, all of which impede travel and other uses. Badlands form in arid regions with infrequent but intense rain-showers, sparse vegetation, and soft sediments: a recipe for massive erosion."

Never been there have you.
Well it is dry, barren, about the only thing that grows is tumbleweed, windy, flat. It is a bad place to be.

Dry and barren, yes. Flat, no.
Great place to visit, bad place to live.
