2015 Map of Irish Creek NE

About this map

The divide between Corson and Ziebach counties runs through this northern South Dakota landscape, where the prairie is defined by its drainage systems. High ground in the north is dissected by the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek, while the central portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the winding course of Firesteel Creek. To the south, the terrain slopes toward Red Earth Creek, illustrating the natural water management patterns of the Rock Creek District. This 2015 survey reflects a sparsely populated agricultural region, where section lines and local roads like 224th Ave and 230th Ave provide the primary framework for movement and land division. The map serves as a detailed record of the township and range system, specifically within Township 17 North, Range 21 East and its neighbors, capturing the character of the Great Plains before modern industrial development.
