2021 Map of Corn Creek

About this map

Black Pipe Cr and Langston Cr define the drainage patterns of this South Dakota landscape, which straddles the boundary of Jackson and Mellette counties. The area is characterized by a series of prominent rises including Midget Butte, Box Butte, and Eagle Butte, providing a detailed look at the local topography as it exists in the early twenty-first century. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents specific cultural and religious sites such as Saint Thomas Cem and the Saint Paul Episcopal Cem near the Corn Creek settlement. Smaller water features like Johnson Draw and Klinking Beard Draw provide a deeper understanding of the local watershed, while the uniquely named Stands for Them Cem highlights the deep-rooted community history of the region.
