About this map

The Bad River winds through the southern reaches of this Stanley County landscape, defining a network of drainage systems that have shaped the local topography. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain dominated by deep draws and isolated elevations, most notably Murray Butte rising above the surrounding plains. The drainage pattern is intricate, with seasonal watercourses like Broken Neck Cr and Tomahawk Cr cutting through the prairie toward the larger river basin.

Local infrastructure is sparse and functional, centered on routes such as Bad River Rd and the aptly named Bunk House Rd. The presence of Government Draw indicates the intersection of natural features and public land management in this portion of South Dakota. For those studying the hydrology or modern land divisions of the region, the map provides a clear record of the relationship between small tributaries like Ash Cr and Deep Cr and the broader pastoral landscape.
