2012 Map of Deep Creek NE

About this map

The Moreau River meanders across this rural landscape in Perkins County, defining the drainage patterns of a region shaped by its watercourses. The river is joined by tributary systems including Rabbit Cr in the north and the multi-branched Deep Cr to the south. This terrain is sparsely populated, with the layout reflecting a vast grazing or agricultural district where movement is dictated by a few key corridors. Transport in the area is anchored by S Dakota Hwy 73, which cuts through the southeastern corner, while unpaved routes like Usta Rd and Deep Creek Rd provide the primary access to the interior sections of the quadrangle. The map captures the quiet character of the South Dakota plains, where the natural hydrology remains the most prominent feature of the land.
