2014 Map of Cannon Ball SW

About this map

Cannon Ball anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, situated near the confluence of local drainages and the regional road network. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system where Beaver Holes Cr and Fool Bear Cr carve through the plains. Further south, Bone Cr and Battle Cr cross the territory, illustrating the natural water sources that have long influenced settlement and land use in this part of Sioux County. The map provides a look at the modern rural infrastructure, defined by a strict grid of section roads like 15th Ave SW and 80th St SW, which overlay the ancient coulees and creek beds. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between these watercourses and the contemporary township and range system.
