About this map

South Creek Cem sits as a lonely landmark in this high plains landscape of western South Dakota, marking the boundary between Haakon and Jackson counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Indian Cr, Dry Cr, and Little Negro Cr, which carve through the prairie to form prominent features like Dead Horse Draw and Big Negro Draw. These waterways provide a stark contrast to the elevated plateaus and summits that dominate the horizon.

Rising above the surrounding flats are several named elevations such as Johnson Hill, Wolf Hill, and the extensive Raiders Hills range. The land use is primarily agricultural and ranching-focused, evidenced by the grid of rural transit routes like Indian Creek Rd, Twp Rd, and Co Rd 4. Unique geological formations like Sandstone Flat and Round Hill further characterize this remote stretch of the Great Plains, illustrating the wind-swept topography of the region in the early 21st century.
