1982 Map of Heinne Creek

About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this 1982 provisional survey of the South Dakota and Nebraska borderlands. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Heinne Creek, Allen Creek, and Madden Creek as they cut through the high plains. Elevation landmarks such as Slim Butte and Lone Butte provide clear navigational points across the relatively open terrain. This sheet, produced from original manuscript drawings and 1970s aerial photography, captures a specific moment in the land management of Fall River County before later modern developments. The map clearly delineates the administrative boundaries between Fall River and Shannon counties and the state line between South Dakota and Nebraska.
