2023 Map of Dalzell SE

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this West River landscape, carving a deep valley that defines the boundary between Meade and Pennington counties. This topographic study reveals a dissected terrain where high points like Marvin Butte and Poverty Point overlook a network of seasonal drainages. The eastern portion of the sheet is marked by the headwaters of Cedar Breaks Creek and the presence of Pierce Lake, providing a contrast to the dry canyons that score the western uplands. Transport in this isolated ranching country is dictated by the geography, with Dalzell Rd and Cheney Rd following the more accessible ridges and flats. Named features such as Shepherd Flat and Dalzell Canyon reflect the local heritage of land use in a region where water sources and topographic shelter were vital for settlement and livestock management.
