2017 Map of Lemmon Creek

About this map

Lemmon Creek winds through this cattle country in northwestern South Dakota, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Cheyenne River watershed. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal streams, including Cherry Cr, Negro Cr, and Johnny Cr, which carve into the plains of Ziebach County. Near the southern boundary, Howes Grazing Lake serves as a vital water source in this semi-arid environment, illustrating the ranching-driven land use patterns of the region. Transportation follows a sparse but functional grid, with routes like Zeal Rd and Old Marcus Rd connecting isolated rural holdings across t9n r17e and surrounding townships. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of the High Plains, where human presence is sparse and closely tied to the natural hydrology of places like E Br Narcelle Cr and Brushy Cr.
