2015 Map of Bridger SE

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, forming a natural boundary between Ziebach and Haakon Counties. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by high plains and deeply incised drainage systems, where the broad expanse of Hump Flat transitions into complex draws. The area is heavily marked by cattle-country landmarks and water sources essential for ranching, including Black Bull Spring, Jackson Spring, and Hold Spring. Numerous ephemeral waterways such as Bull Cr and Dog Cr carve the northern townships, while the southern section is dominated by the Spotted Bear Cr system. The naming conventions, featuring labels like Council Bear Draw and Moon Draw, reflect the local heritage and geography of the western South Dakota plains during the early 21st century.
