2021 Map of Big Draw

About this map

Sulphur Cr and its many tributaries, such as Skirt Cr and Frozen Man Cr, define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Meade County. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations and relief features like Lookout Butte, Flat Top Butte, and Rizer Hill, which provided essential landmarks for travelers and early settlers in this cattle-ranching region. Evidence of water management and local infrastructure appears via Stoneville Lake and the established route of Stoneville Rd, which cuts north-south through the center of the sheet. This map offers a detailed look at the township and range divisions of Western South Dakota, showing the relationship between the natural draws like Big Draw and Corsaurt Draw and the rural road network including Co Hwy Mc-26.
