2011 Map of Pitt Creek

About this map

Crooked Creek and Pitt Creek wind through this rural Sioux County landscape, defining the drainage patterns of a region dominated by wide-open prairie and grazing lands. The map illustrates a grid of secondary roads such as 90th St SW and 58th Ave SW, which provide the primary access to this sparsely settled area. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes more intricate where Cedar Creek and Timber Creek converge, creating complex riparian corridors. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the Porcupine District, showing the intersection of Watauga Rd with the local section lines that have organized the Dakota territory since the early days of settlement.
