1982 Map of Oelrichs
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Oelrichs serves as the primary hub of this Fall River County landscape, positioned along the Chicago and North Western rail line and the corridor of Route 385. The geography is defined by the extensive Buffalo Gap National Grassland, where the terrain transitions through a series of drainage systems and prominent elevations. Significant topographic markers include Limestone Butte, Windy Butte, and the southern formation known as Slim Butte. Water courses such as Horsehead Creek and School Section Creek carve through the grassland, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped ranching and settlement in this portion of South Dakota. The presence of smaller localized names like Harmony and Robins points to the early social organization and rural districts that once dotted these plains.
