2017 Map of Horse Creek

About this map

Eagle Nest Butte rises prominently above the high plains of South Dakota, serving as a significant landmark in a landscape defined by expansive drainage networks. This 2017 survey documents the rural boundary where Jackson Co meets Bennett Co. The topography is shaped by several seasonal waterways, including the winding course of Eagle Nest Cr and the descriptively named Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr near the southern border. A sparse network of local roads such as Hisle Rd and Bia Rd provide the primary access through these townships. The map illustrates a contemporary view of the region's ranching and open-range character, showing how modern transit routes follow the natural contours of the northern Great Plains.
