About this map

The settlement of Creighton serves as the focal point for this section of Pennington County, situated at the intersection of Creighton Rd and Babcock Rd. This prairie landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where the North Fork Rainy Creek flows through the southern reaches and the ephemeral waters of Deep Creek cut across the northeast. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic depressions such as Seven D Draw, Three Tree Draw, and Fourmile Draw, which illustrate the erosion-carved character of the High Plains.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks including the Creighton Cem near the townsite and the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem further north along 194th Ave. Rural infrastructure is well-documented through a network of section-line roads like Denke Rd and Wall Pedro Rd, while Hammann Lake provides a localized water source in the northern townships. The map clearly delineates township and range boundaries, including t4n r16e and t5n r16e, providing a precise framework for land tract research.
