2021 Map of Deep Creek NW

About this map

The Moreau River meanders across this rural section of Perkins County, defining a landscape shaped by significant drainage patterns like Swan Draw. This 2021 survey illustrates the vast open space of western South Dakota, where the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid remains the primary organizing feature for the territory. The township boundaries, including t14n r14e and t13n r13e, segment the terrain into the traditional sections used for homesteading and grazing since the era of frontier settlement. Aside from Cottonwood Rd cutting through the southeastern corner, the area is notably devoid of dense infrastructure, highlighting the remote and undisturbed nature of the northern plains. This map is an essential reference for understanding contemporary land management and the enduring topography of the Moreau River basin.
