2014 Map of Sheep Creek Dam

About this map

Cannonball River meanders across this rural Grant County landscape, providing the primary drainage for the surrounding prairie. This 2014 survey focuses on the engineering of the Sheep Creek Dam, which impounds Sheep Cr to create a local reservoir. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road grid, with routes like Elgin Rd and 80th St SW defining the agricultural territory. A prominent natural landmark, Medicine Rock, stands out as a distinct geological feature amidst the uniform elevation contours. The area remains sparsely populated, dominated by the intersection of water management and traditional plains topography, where the river's winding course contrasts with the rigid geometry of the regional road network.
