About this map

The Cheyenne River snakes through this portion of Ziebach County, defining a landscape of deep draws and high flats in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by significant water features including Council Bear Cr and the branching forks of Spotted Bear Cr. Named springs such as Black Bull Spring, Jackson Spring, and Hold Spring indicate the critical role of water sources in this cattle-ranching region. Evidence of local land use is centered around Bull Ranch and the plateau of Hump Flat. The network of intermittent streams like Dog Cr and Bull Cr provides a look at the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated movement and settlement across this prairie environment.
