About this map

The Moreau River carves a winding path through this portion of Dewey County, defining a landscape of deep draws and high plateaus. In the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, the community of Green Grass serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians, featuring the Green Grass Cem and the main thoroughfare of Green Grass Rd. This area reflects the rural character of the Cheyenne River Reservation, where life is centered around the river and its tributaries, such as Meadow Cr and Red Earth Cr. The mapping of townships t14n r23e and t15n r23e reveals a sparse settlement pattern typical of the high plains, where water sources dictated the placement of early homesteads and communal sites.
