1980 Map of Otter Creek East

About this map

The Heart River winds through the northern portion of this landscape on the border of Grant and Morton Counties, creating a complex network of drainages and coulees. This 1980 survey emphasizes the transition from the river valley to the upland plains, where conservation and land management are anchored by the Otter Creek State Game Management Area. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, including Otter Creek, Beaver Creek, and Cow Creek, which carve through the prairie. Smaller features like Bridge Coulee and Pony Coulee illustrate the local topography, while scattered wells indicate the ongoing human interaction with the land for resource extraction and agriculture during the late twentieth century.
