2020 Map of Liens Dams

About this map

Chanta Peta Cr and its tributaries wind through this section of the High Plains, where the border of Hettinger and Adams counties divides a landscape of section-line roads and prairie drainages. The local hydrology is anchored by Liens Dams in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, with water moving through Indian Creek and Tepee Cr. A network of rural routes, including Havelock Rd and the specifically named Three Mile Bridge Rd, provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching and agricultural region. The mapping reveals the systematic township and range organization of the Dakotas, showing how transportation routes like Indian Cr Dam Rd and various numbered avenues follow the rigid geometry of the public land survey system across the undulating terrain.
