2012 Map of Beverly Creek

About this map

S Fork Moreau River and its meandering tributaries define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape in Meade County. Small, seasonal watercourses including Beverly Cr and Frozen Man Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the western South Dakota plains. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the intermittent road network that connects these remote grazing lands. Vital access is provided by thoroughfares such as Zeona Rd and 165th Ave, which follow the section lines and natural contours between drainage basins. To the south, Trail Cr and Spring Cr feed into the broader regional water system, marking the quiet, open geography of the high plains before the modern era of expansion reached this corner of the state.
