About this map

Elm Cr and its tributary, E Elm Cr, carve a network of drainage patterns across this portion of Meade County, defining the landscape's character near Clough. This high-plains terrain is mapped through a grid of rural routes and sections, reflecting the enduring township and range system that organizes the Dakotas. Named local roads like Chalk Butte Rd, Laredo Pl, and Mandan Loop provide the primary access to these wide-open agricultural and ranching lands. The lack of dense settlement emphasizes the region's rural nature, where county thoroughfares such as Co Hwy Mc-23 and Co Hwy Mc-21 connect isolated homesteads and grazing tracts. Researchers can trace the subtle elevation changes and watercourse developments that have shaped the local land use and infrastructure.
