2012 Map of Elm Creek Ranch

About this map

Elm Creek Ranch serves as the focal point for this Pennington County landscape, where the high plains of South Dakota are defined by a network of drainage creeks and ranching infrastructure. The terrain rises to distinct elevations at Hubbard Hill and Bliss Hill, while a sparse grid of rural roads like Big Foote Rd and Kelly Hill Rd connects isolated homesteads and livestock operations. The local economy and transportation are further evidenced by private aviation facilities, including the Clark Landing Strip in the north and the Hoffman Landing Strip to the west. Water sources are critical in this environment, with the winding paths of Elm Cr, Poeno Cr, and Lake Cr providing the essential hydrology for the surrounding grazing lands and the ranch at the center of the survey.
