About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this West River landscape, serving as the primary natural boundary between Pennington and Meade counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant alluvial flats and named drainage draws that define the local ranching geography. High ground like Duhamel Flat and Davidson Flat dominate the central and southern portions of the map, while water sources such as Freiberg Spring and Davidson Spring provide vital points of interest in an otherwise arid expanse.

A network of rural routes, including Creighton Rd and Plainview Rd, connect the scattered draws and creek beds that feed into the river system. Local nomenclature remains deeply tied to the land's features, evidenced by names like Poison Weed Draw, Plum Draw, and Mud Draw. This survey captures the topographic detail of the breaks and plateaus that have historically shaped land use in this part of South Dakota.
