1973 Map of Bog Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

East Short Pine Hills dominate the southwestern corner of this Harding County landscape, creating a dramatic topographical transition in the northwestern South Dakota plains. The drainage patterns here are particularly distinct, with the South Fork Grand River flowing through the northern portion of the quadrangle while the North Fork Moreau River cuts across the southeast. Between these major water systems, the prominent escarpment known as The Jumpoff winds through the center of the map, marking a significant geologic break in the terrain. Human presence is sparse in this open country, represented primarily by the Ruona Ranch and various unimproved roads that navigate the complex network of draws and creeks like Chalk Butte Draw and Buffalo Creek. The map effectively illustrates the vast watershed divide that separates the Grand and Moreau river systems in this ranching territory.
