2015 Map of High Elk Hill

About this map

The rolling plains of South Dakota's Dewey and Ziebach counties meet in this 2015 survey, which centers on the prominent landmark of High Elk Hill. The landscape is defined by the high, open divides between several watercourses, including Green Grass Cr to the north and the drainages of Herbert Cr and E Fork Rudy Cr to the east and south. In the northeastern corner of the map, the settlement of Eagle Butte serves as a local hub, supported by the Cheyenne Eagle Butte Airport and critical transport routes such as Airport Rd. The map also documents local landmarks with deep community ties, such as the Saint Marks Cem, located near the center of the quadrangle. The grid-like public land survey system remains the dominant organizational feature across these sprawling townships.
