About this map

Cherry Cr defines the southern drainage patterns of this Ziebach County landscape, carving a winding path through the plains of District 4. The topography is marked by a series of significant seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions, including Horn Draw and the extensive Straighthead Draw in the southeast. These features, along with Little Dog Draw, suggest a terrain shaped by intermittent runoff and erosion, characteristic of the western South Dakota prairie.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, notably Bia Hwy 5 and Bia Hwy 6, which connect the northern drainages of Little Cottonwood Cr and its E Fork Little Cottonwood Cr with the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures a largely open landscape managed under the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the clear township and range boundaries like t9n r21e.
