2012 Map of Longbrake Ranch

About this map

The Longbrake Ranch area of Ziebach County reflects the vast, low-density settlement patterns of central South Dakota in the early 21st century. Named ranch properties including Longbrake Ranch, Trent Ranch, and Herren Ranch dominate the landscape, serving as primary anchors in a region defined by seasonal waterways and drainage basins. The intricate drainage network of Girl Cr, Rattlesnake Cr, and the W Br Ash Cr convergence into Ash Cr illustrates the reliance on natural topography for agricultural operations. Water management is evidenced by infrastructure such as Herren Dam in the northeast. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Cherry Creek Rd, highlighting the persistent isolation and expansive land use characteristic of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation vicinity.
