1983 Map of Powell NW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The high plains of western South Dakota are defined by a network of drainage systems including Mitchell Creek, Hotes Creek, and Squaw Creek in this topographic study. This landscape in Haakon County is characterized by isolated homesteads and ranching operations, such as Heeb Ranch and Hickman Ranch in the northeast and Nelson Ranch to the west. The presence of these named sites provides a valuable record of land ownership and agricultural settlement in the early 1980s. The terrain is further marked by the locality of Witcher and the southern reach of Buzzard Creek, illustrating the sparse but organized distribution of human activity along the area's natural watercourses. The grid of township and range lines, including the boundary between T 3 N and T 2 N, reveals the foundational surveying that organized this portion of the Great Plains.
