2012 Map of Horse Creek

About this map

Eagle Nest Butte rises above the drainages of the eastern Pine Ridge region, serving as a prominent landmark in this segment of Bennett County. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways, where the headwaters of Eagle Nest Cr and Craven Cr carve through the plains. The presence of Bia Rd and Hisle Rd indicates the primary corridors of travel through this rural area, connecting dispersed ranching or residential sites. To the south, the terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr and Horse Cr. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when these traditional water sources and dirt-track roads continued to define the geography of the local community and land use.
