2012 Map of Coal Springs SE

About this map

Thunder Butte Cr meanders across this northern Ziebach County landscape, carving a network of drainage patterns through the prairie. The terrain is defined by its subtle hydraulic features, including the elongated School Section Draw and Berry Cr, which characterize this portion of the Cheyenne River watershed. Human presence is sparse, primarily represented by the remote corridor of Foster Rd cutting through the western section. This survey captures the rural character of South Dakota's open range, where the arrangement of watercourses and draws dictated the path of local infrastructure and early land use. It is an essential document for understanding the physical geography of the Coal Springs region in the early twenty-first century.
