2015 Map of Porter Creek

About this map

The N Fork Moreau River cuts through the northeast corner of this territory, defining the northern drainage system for a landscape of intermittent creek beds and prairie. Straddling the boundary of Harding and Butte counties, the map reveals a vast network of watersheds including Cottonwood Creek and its southern branch, South Cottonwood Creek, alongside Porter Creek. This 2015 study details the modern rural road system, most notably the path of Zeona Road along the southern edge. The terrain is further etched by smaller watercourses such as Badlands Creek, Flat Creek, and Spring Creek, which reflect the seasonal hydrology and land use patterns of this section of western South Dakota.
