About this map

Rainy Cr and its tributaries define the drainage patterns of this Pennington County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map shows a highly structured section-line road network, where routes like 190th Ave and 219th St navigate the dissected uplands. This area is characterized by the convergence of several significant local drainages, including the N Fork Rainy Cr and S Fork Rainy Cr, which weave through the terrain before joining the main stem.

Further south and west, the headwaters of Bull Cr and Cow Cr emerge, while Deep Cr cuts through the eastern sections. Long-established thoroughfares such as Wall Pedro Rd and Creighton Rd serve as the primary north-south conduits, illustrating how modern transportation follows the high ground between these deeply eroded creek beds. This survey provides a precise record of rural infrastructure and hydrography in the high plains.
