2017 Map of Alkali Creek East

About this map

The S Fork Moreau River meanders across this corner of the western South Dakota plains, defining a landscape carved by seasonal drainage systems. The survey area is bisected by the historic route of Old US Hwy 85, which serves as the primary corridor through this open country. The terrain is marked by a network of named watercourses including Alkali Cr, Fourmile Cr, and Cady Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the High Plains where water dictates the utility of the land. This 2017 record preserves the geopolitical boundary between Harding Co and Butte Co, highlighting a region where expansive township and range sections remain the dominant organizational feature for ranching and land management.
