1978 Map of Bams Butte SE

About this map

The North Fork Moreau River meanders through this portion of Harding County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by intermittent watercourses and isolated topographic rises. The terrain is characterized by prominent landmarks like Saddle Butte and the high point at Murchison, which provided essential navigational anchors in the open country. The water network is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of Goose Creek, Wolf Creek, and Giannonatti Cr as they feed into the Moreau basin. Evidence of land use and resource exploration is visible through scattered features such as a Drill Hole and several designated Well sites, reflecting the rural infrastructure of the late 1970s. The map also captures local-named drainage features like Swallow Draw and Cowboy Creek, which illustrate the seasonal hydrology of the South Dakota plains.
