2012 Map of Red Elm SW

About this map

S Fork Flint Rock Cr snakes through the open rangeland of Ziebach County, forming a drainage network that defines the north-central topography of this South Dakota quadrangle. The map highlights a landscape largely shaped by these seasonal waterways, including Flint Rock Cr in the far northwest and Red Coat Cr along the southern edge. Human infrastructure is sparse, restricted primarily to a few section-line roads and rural corridors like Bachman Rd and Arrow Head Rd that provide access across the rolling prairie. This digital-era survey records the subtle hydrography of the region during a period of modern land management, capturing the exact paths of these tributaries before they contribute to the larger Missouri River basin. For those tracking land use or physical geography in District 1, the sheet preserves the specific placement of drainage patterns and transportation routes as they existed in the early 2010s.
