2015 Map of Deep Creek NW

About this map

The Moreau River meanders across this Perkins County landscape, carving a distinct path through the West River prairie. This 2015 study of the area, defined by the Public Land Survey System township boundaries of t15n r13e, t15n r14e, t14n r13e, and t14n r14e, captures a remote section of the northern plains where the topography is shaped by natural drainage patterns. The significant terrain feature of Swan Draw feeds into the river valley from the north, illustrating the primary watershed behavior of the region. Transportation in this sparsely populated area is centered on rural routes like Cottonwood Rd, which provides one of the few formal access points across the rolling grassland. The map reveals a landscape largely dedicated to open range and traditional land divisions, preserving the character of the South Dakota plains into the twenty-first century.
