2012 Map of Cherry Creek NW

About this map

Cheyenne River flows through this corner of District 4, South Dakota, defining a landscape of ranching and drainage networks. The presence of Motley Ranch, Red Fox Ranch, and White Cloud Ranch highlights the ongoing agricultural use of these plains in the early 21st century. These homesteads are situated near the confluence of major waterways including Cottonwood Cr, Little Cottonwood Cr, and Deep Cr, which carve through the terrain beneath the profile of Joshua Butte. Transportation through this region is facilitated by rural arteries such as Cherry Creek Rd and Tipi J Rd, along with the prominent Rte-12. The map illustrates a contemporary rural geography where named family ranches remain the primary landmarks across the expansive river valley and high buttes.
