2012 Map of Deep Creek NW

About this map

The Moreau River meanders through this western South Dakota landscape, carving a wide valley that defines the local topography. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote ranching character of Perkins County, where established holdings like Kari Ranch, Halstead Ranch, and Marks Ranch anchor the rural economy. To the southwest, the river's influence is seen in the Moreau River Badlands, an area of distinct erosion and relief. North of the river, the intermittent drainage of Swan Draw feeds into the main channel, while the section-line grid is sparsely broken by local thoroughfares such as Usta Rd. The map provides a clear picture of the vast open spaces and limited infrastructure characteristic of this high plains region.
