About this map

Spring Cr and Battle Creek drain this South Dakota landscape where the boundaries of Pennington and Custer counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages that cut through the high plains, including Charles Draw, Reed Draw, and School Section Draw. These features reflect a traditional Western land-use pattern where water access and natural topography dictated property lines and transportation routes. Notable elevations like Flattop Butte and Yankee Hill rise above the surrounding draws, serving as key landmarks for navigators and local residents. While the area is largely rural, the network of local roads such as Co Hwy 152 and the Spring Creek Cutoff provides insight into the modern connectivity between the scattered ranches and seasonal waterways of the Black Hills foothills.
