About this map

Plum Creek Sch sits near the northern boundary of this western South Dakota landscape, serving as a localized landmark in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The terrain is carved by numerous waterways, including the winding course of Mule Creek and the headwaters of Plum Creek, Deer Creek, and South Creek. These seasonal watercourses dictate the flow of the land, while the southern portion of the survey is dominated by the valley of Mitchell Creek.

Transport through the township of Mattison is primarily facilitated by the Ottumwa Road on the eastern edge. This 1980s-era documentation highlights a rural environment where infrastructure is sparse and tied closely to the natural hydrology. The map provides a clear look at the section lines and township boundaries, such as the division between R 22 E and R 23 E, which organize this prairie ranching country.
