2017 Map of Dead Mans Creek

About this map

Nebraska National Forest dominates the central portion of this landscape, where the rugged drainages of the Pine Ridge region define the terrain. The map follows the boundary of Sioux Co and Dawes Co, capturing a rural area characterized by steep canyons and seasonal watercourses. The network of drainage starts with Dead Mans Cr and Cherry Cr flowing northward, while the northeast corner is marked by Dodd Reservoir. The road names reflect the local geography and historical challenges of the land, including Breakneck Rd, White River Rd, and the ominously named Starvation Gulch. This 2017 survey provides a clear look at the public land divisions and the isolated network of section roads like Diehl Rd and N Belmont Rd that serve this high-plains wilderness.
