2015 Map of Herbert Creek SE

About this map

Cheyenne River Lake Oahe and the vast waters of Lake Oahe dominate the southern landscape of this 2015 quadrangle in Dewey County. This survey captures a remote stretch of South Dakota where the topography is defined by a series of drainages, including Herbert Cr, Little Cr, and Paradis Cr, which carve into the plains. The land rises toward the Gray Buttes and levels out at the Kid Rich Flats, illustrating the transition from riparian zones to high prairie. Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-9 and Bia-802 provide the primary access through this territory, which is punctuated by named topographic features such as Beef Draw, Talcut Draw, and Olson Draw. The arrangement of these landmarks reflects the traditional ranching and rural land use patterns of the region's interior.
