About this map

Firesteel Cr meanders through this section of the Rock Creek District in Corson County, shaping a drainage pattern that defines the rural landscape of North Central South Dakota. The waterway is joined by the branching tributaries of Standing Cloud Cr, providing a natural network through the open prairie. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of section-line roads, notably Firesteel Rd and Co Rd-CS21, which facilitate travel between remote ranching properties and larger regional routes. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the Standing Rock Reservation area, where the terrain remains largely undeveloped, focused on the drainage basins of these key seasonal creeks.
