2015 Map of Elm Springs

About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through the northern reaches of this Meade County landscape, defining a terrain etched by numerous drainage features such as Trussman Draw and Huddleston Draw. The small community of Elm Springs serves as the central point of reference, situated at the junction of Elm Springs Rd and Dalzell Rd. This western South Dakota rangeland is characterized by its complex network of named draws and coulees, including Maddox Draw and Turner Draw, which illustrate the erosion patterns typical of the region's drainage basins. In the southern portion of the map, the landscape transitions toward Elk Cr, supported by further landmarks like Adams Draw and Pierce Draw. The map meticulously records the rural road network, from Brustel Rd to Smithville Rd, providing a detailed look at the connectivity between these isolated homesteads and pastures.
