2015 Map of Horse Tooth

About this map

Saint Paul Cem sits as a quiet anchor along 223rd St in this section of the South Dakota plains, where the landscape is defined by its drainage basins and ranching infrastructure. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the headwaters of Deep Creek and its eastern fork, while the southern reaches drain into Poeno Creek and the North Fork Bad River. A series of water management sites, including the Willuweit Dam Number 10 Reservoir and multiple basins named for Kirk Cordes, reflect the vital importance of water storage in this semi-arid terrain. Rising above the surrounding drainage networks is the prominent feature Horse Tooth, a landmark situated between Big Foote Road and 200th Ave. The map also captures the Pennington and Haakon county line, where section-line roads like Pedro Road establish a rigid grid over the undulating topography.
