1955 Map of Bridger SW

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this mid-century landscape, marking a significant transition between Ziebach and Haakon Counties. This 1955 survey illustrates a rugged drainage system where numerous draws, such as Moon Draw and Clayton Draw, feed into larger tributaries like Bull Creek and Council Bear Creek. The presence of the Reservation Boundary along the river highlights the jurisdictional divisions of the period, while the isolated Bull Ranch stands as the primary human settlement in an area dominated by cattle ranching and sparse water sources.
