About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking the natural boundary between Meade Co and Pennington Co. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and high points, including the prominent Marvin Butte and the sharp overlook at Poverty Point. A series of significant landforms like Dalzell Canyon, Big Canyon, and Little Canyon illustrate the erosive power of the local waterways on the South Dakota plains.

Transportation in this rural corridor relies on established routes such as Dalzell Rd and Cheney Rd, which connect isolated flats like Shepherd Flat to the surrounding region. To the east, Cedar Breaks Cr and the secluded Pierce Lake offer localized water sources within the high-relief topography. This map captures the area's transition from open grazing land to the rugged breaks leading down to the river valley.
