About this map

The Cheyenne River carves a significant course through this landscape along the Ziebach County and Haakon County boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, most notably the extensive Plum Creek system, including West Plum Creek and the East Fork Plum Creek. These waterways create a highly dissected topography, contrasting with the elevated plateau of Maupin Flat in the northeast.

Surface features like Stony Butte and Stony Butte Draw provide localized landmarks within this expansive rural territory. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of section-line roads and regional routes such as Kirley Road and Quinn Road, reflecting the low-density grazing and agricultural character of the region. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of these remote interior lands, maintaining many of the traditional geographic boundaries established during earlier homesteading and ranching eras.
