2015 Map of Creighton

About this map

Creighton sits at the southern edge of this West River landscape, where the prairie is defined by a series of long, name-bearing coulees and seasonal drainages. The settlement pattern is sparse, tied to the section lines of the Public Land Survey System and anchored by sites of local heritage like the Creighton Cem and Emmanuel Lutheran Cem. The topography is shaped by significant erosional features such as Seven D Draw, Three Tree Draw, and Fourmile Draw, which direct the flow of occasional runoff toward larger arteries like N Fork Rainy Cr and Deep Cr. Apart from the small impoundment at Hammann Lake, the map reflects a dry, high-plains environment where infrastructure is limited to gravel routes like Creighton Rd and Denke Rd, serving the isolated ranchsteads of Pennington County.
