2017 Map of No Heart Creek

About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the southern landscape of this Dewey County region, where the Missouri River's waters reach deep into the Missouri Plateau. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the namesake No Heart Cr and the descriptively named Tall Prairie Chicken Cr. A prominent landmark, No Heart Butte, rises between these drainages, serving as a significant navigational point in this part of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. The infrastructure is characterized by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, specifically BIA Hwy 8 and BIA Rd 8, which provide the primary access through these townships. The map illustrates a landscape where cattle ranching and traditional land use patterns persist, evidenced by features like Corral Cr and the vast stretches of open country punctuated by Little Willow Cr and W Br Willow Cr in the northeast.
