1956 Map of Herbert Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Herbert Creek winds through this mid-century landscape at the intersection of Dewey, Stanley, and Cheyenne River counties. This area was documented just before the completion of the Oahe Dam, with a light-blue pattern indicating lands destined to be submerged by the impending reservoir. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems including Beef Draw, Talcutt Draw, and Olson Draw, which carve into the rolling prairie. To the south, the prominent Gray Buttes rise above the surrounding terrain, overlooking the broad expanse of Rich Flats and Kid Rich Flats. The map records a sparsely populated ranching environment connected only by unimproved dirt roads, preserving the original drainage patterns of Paradis Creek and Little Creek prior to the major hydrological changes of the Missouri River Basin development project.
