2020 Map of Parson Creek

About this map

Beehive sits at a geographic crossroads in the western portion of this Richland County landscape, where Dry Creek Rd meets the path of State Hwy 261. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, most notably Parson Cr and Smith Cr, which carve through the high plains. In the southern reaches, the elevation rises toward the prominent landmark of Blue Mtn, while the seasonal flow of Dry Cr marks the central valley. A specific point of interest for those studying the local water table or early settlement patterns is Lady Brown Spring, a named water source located north of the Beehive area. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Richland Co and Wibaux Co, showing how local infrastructure like Lufboro Rd and Co Rd 101 connects these rural districts.
