About this map

Cherry Creek sits at the northwest corner of this West River landscape, situated near the winding course of the Cheyenne River. The geography is defined by a series of distinct drainage systems, most notably Plum Cr and its tributaries, W Plum Cr and E Fork Plum Cr, which carve through the plains. The map highlights the border between Ziebach and Haakon Counties, illustrating how the river and its associated topography serve as natural delimiters in this part of South Dakota.

Local landmarks such as Stony Butte and its adjacent Stony Butte Draw provide vertical contrast to the level expanse of Maupin Flat. Transportation in this rural region relies on a network of established routes like Hudson Flat Rd and Kings School Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The layout reveals a traditional section-line road pattern typical of the Great Plains, supporting the ranching operations that characterize the local economy.
