About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the county line where Ziebach County meets Haakon County. This region is defined by an intricate network of drainages and springs that provide critical water sources in a semi-arid environment. Named water features such as Black Bull Spring, Jackson Spring, and Hold Spring are scattered throughout the terrain, often located near significant flats and draws. The plateau of Hump Flat stands as a prominent topographical feature in the center of the survey area, surrounded by a complex system of creek beds including Bull Creek, Dog Creek, and Council Bear Creek. These waterways and their associated draws, like Moon Draw and Clayton Draw, reveal the erosion patterns typical of this part of South Dakota, where the land has been sculpted over generations by the movement of water toward the Cheyenne River valley.
