2017 Map of Mouth of East Branch War Creek

About this map

The Fort Pierre National Grassland dominates this central South Dakota landscape, where the high prairie meets a network of seasonal watercourses. This area, spanning the boundary between Stanley and Jones Counties, is defined by the drainage patterns of the E Br War Cr and W Br War Cr, which converge as they carve through the local topography. Isolated section lines and ranch roads like Warcreek Rd provide the primary access to this expansive grazing land. The map illustrates a characteristic Great Plains settlement pattern where modern infrastructure, including 224 St and 282nd Ave, adheres to the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System while navigating the winding paths of Yellow Shoulder Cr and Porcupine Cr.
