About this map

Allison Crossing serves as a central point of reference in this landscape of the Cheyenne River Reservation, where the Moreau River meanders through Ziebach County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Flint Rock Cr and Locate Cr, which flow through the rolling grasslands. The absence of densely clustered settlements highlights the ranching and agricultural character of the region, where movement is facilitated by a grid of rural roads like 202nd Ave. The intricate contour lines illustrate the intricate breaks and coulees common to this part of South Dakota, particularly around the northern reaches of Knocker Cr and the wide drainage of Sand Draw. These natural features have historically dictated the placement of crossings and early trail routes through the western plains.
