About this map

The Belle Fourche River and Redwater River converge in this western South Dakota landscape, defining the geographic heart of the region. By the early 21st century, the area shows a complex water management system essential for local agriculture and industry, featuring the Inlet Canal, Redwater Canal, and Case Ditch. These waterways navigate a terrain also shaped by numerous seasonal drainages like Pool Cr and Dry Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, including Riverside Cem near the riverbanks and Pine Slope Cem to the southwest. The infrastructure of the area is well-established, anchored by the Belle Fourche Municipal Airport and a grid of named thoroughfares such as Snoma Rd and Widdos-Helmer-Minnesota Rd. This survey captures the transition from the traditional river-fed valley to the modern transportation and aviation hubs of Bus Field.
