2011 Map of Pennock Creek

About this map

The Powder River carves a winding path through this corner of Custer County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for a landscape defined by its complex drainage network. Water management and local transit infrastructure are key highlights of this 2011 survey, particularly evident in the series of small impoundments such as Balsam Number 6 Dam, Balsam Number 4 Dam, and Cotton Dam. These features indicate the critical role of water capture in this arid region, where numerous ephemeral and perennial streams like Pennock Creek, Tiger Tim Creek, and Devils Hole Creek feed into the river basin.
