1978 Map of Bull Run Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Sulphur Creek and its many meandering tributaries define this portion of the western South Dakota plains during the mid-1970s. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Bull Run Creek, South Sulphur Creek, and Cattle Creek, which carve into the terrain to form distinct breaks and rises. This survey captures the rural ranching character of Meade County, where the topography is dotted with family-named landmarks and survey points like Jacoby and Cuss. While the map lacks formal town sites, the detailed recording of section lines and fence boundaries illustrates the organized division of this open range. This is a quiet, functional portrait of the high plains just before the digital era of mapping, emphasizing the importance of every drainage and named rise to those navigating and working this specific South Dakota landscape.
