2017 Map of High Elk Hill SE

About this map

Rudy Cr meanders across this Ziebach County landscape, carving a series of complex draws and drainage patterns through the high plains. The topography here is defined by broad divides and intermittent watercourses, including Dupree Cr which drains the southern portion of the quadrangle. A sparse network of local transportation is represented by Co Rd, which provides the primary access through these townships. The map documents the vast, open character of the South Dakota prairie during the early 21st century, showing the intricate contouring of the land where livestock grazing and dryland agriculture typically define the local economy and land use. The Public Land Survey System grid sections out the territory, illustrating the orderly division of this expansive western terrain.
