2017 Map of Irish Creek SW

About this map

Irish Cr and its tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern across this Ziebach County landscape, defining the rural character of this northern South Dakota region. The terrain is notably marked by family-run ranching operations, centered around infrastructure like the Dorsey Ranch Airport and a network of arterial roads including Dorsey Rd and Young Ranch Rd. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident in the meandering paths of Beaver Trap Cr and Sophia Cr, which thread through the township sections. This map reflects a modern era of high-plains agriculture where large-scale ranching and private aviation intersect, providing a clear picture of the land divisions and remote access points such as Leedom Pike Rd and Thunder Butte Rd that support the local economy.
