2015 Map of Burdock

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this West River landscape, defining the transition between the Black Hills National Forest to the north and the wide plains of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland to the south. The small settlements of Burdock and Marietta anchor the western and southeastern corners of the map, respectively. This area is heavily influenced by water management for agricultural use, evidenced by the Griffis Canal and Tubbs Canal which cut across the prairie terrain.
