About this map

The Dalzell settlement serves as the primary focal point of this western South Dakota landscape, situated amidst a complex drainage system in Meade County. The Belle Fourche River cuts across the northern edge, while the southern reaches are defined by Elk Cr. This area is characterized by numerous seasonal waterways and erosion patterns, including Bradley Draw, Trussman Draw, and Sand Springs Draw, which carve through the plains toward larger basins.

Local navigation relies on a network of named rural roads such as River Rd, Dalzell Rd, and Smithville Rd. To the east, the level terrain of Shepherd Flat provides a distinct contrast to the more dissected drainage areas found elsewhere on the sheet. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, showing how ranching access and small-scale settlements remain tied to the proximity of reliable water sources and established section line roads.
