About this map

Granger Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of the western South Dakota plains, where the Harding County and Butte County line divides the landscape. Recorded during the 1970s, the terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Muddy Creek, Sand Creek, and Badlands Creek. A solitary Cottonwood Sch stands in the southeastern portion of the map, serving as a rare marker of localized community life in a region primarily dedicated to rangeland. Evidence of resource exploration or ranching infrastructure is present through scattered markings for a Drill Hole and Well. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the High Plains, where human activity is often centered around the reliable water sources provided by Cottonwood Creek and South Cottonwood Creek.
