2021 Map of Herbert Creek SE

About this map

Lake Oahe defines the southern edge of this landscape in Dewey County, where the Missouri River's backed-up waters meet the intricate drainage systems of the northern plains. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal draws and creeks, including Beef Draw and the namesake Herbert Cr, which carve through the high ground towards the reservoir. Elevated landmarks like the Gray Buttes and Kid Rich Flats provide distinctive topographic relief against the surrounding slopes. Transportation in this part of the Standing Rock reservation area is guided by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, specifically BIA Hwy 8 and BIA Hwy 9. The map details a complex system of land partitions under the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional land use near features like Paradis Cr and Little Cr.
