1978 Map of Isabel SW

About this map

The boundary between Ziebach Co and Dewey Co runs through the western edge of this landscape, situated entirely within the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Red Earth Creek, which cuts through the central and southern portions of the territory. This 1978 survey illustrates the rural character of the region during the late 1970s, where movement was primarily dictated by unimproved roads and established field lines across the open prairie. Further north, the waters of Meadow Creek drain toward the east, while Jewitt Pond sits near the southern border, providing a rare permanent water source in an area largely characterized by its intermittent drainage patterns and cattle-grazing land.
