2021 Map of Pierre SW

About this map

Fort Pierre stands at the confluence of history and the high plains, situated where the Bad River meets the Missouri River corridor. This 2021 survey illustrates the city's residential expansion alongside significant historical landmarks such as Verendrye Hill, which commemorates early European exploration of the northern plains. The map details a transition from the urban grid of streets like W Main Ave and Yellowstone St to the expansive protected landscapes of the Fort Pierre National Grassland to the south. Numerous drainage systems including Willow Creek, Gray Blanket Creek, and Porcupine Creek carve through the local topography, indicating the importance of water management in this prairie environment. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cedar Hill Cemetery and trace the winding paths of rural routes like Powell Creek Road.
