2021 Map of Bridger

About this map

The Cheyenne River carves a deep valley through this portion of the South Dakota plains, defining the border between Ziebach and Haakon Counties. The settlement of Bridger serves as a local focal point, situated near the northern banks where the river bends east. This topography is characterized by expansive plateau-like features such as Bridger Flat and Barthold Flat, which are dissected by numerous drainage draws and creeks including Bull Cr and Indian Springs Cr. A sparse network of local tracks like Tannini Rd and Ash Creek Rd connects the scattered landmarks of this cattle-ranching landscape. The presence of Four Corner Bridge highlights the critical crossings needed to navigate the waterway in this open country, while natural water sources like Hatchet Spring remain vital markers on the terrain.
