2015 Map of Pierre SW

About this map

Fort Pierre sits at the confluence of the Bad River and the Missouri, though this survey focuses on the landscape immediately southwest of the settlement. The town's western edge is marked by notable elevations such as Verendrye Hill and Cedar Hill, which overlook a network of meandering waterways including Willow Cr and Gray Blanket Cr. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Ft. Pierre National Grassland, a protected expanse that preserves the native prairie character of Stanley County. The rural transport network follows the river valley, with Bad River Rd providing access to the rugged draws and creek beds that feed into the main waterway. Local researchers can identify land divisions and topography near a small Cem and trace the paths of seasonal streams like Yellow Shoulder Cr and Porcupine Cr as they cut through the plateau towards the river.
