2017 Map of Smithwick NW

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this arid expanse of southwestern South Dakota, cutting a path through the borderlands of Custer and Fall River counties. The landscape is defined by wide sedimentary features like Harrison Flat and W G Flat, which are dissected by numerous drainages including Lame Johnny Cr, Iron Draw, and Plumb Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the remote ranching character of the region, where a network of unpaved corridors such as Ballard Ranch Rd and Ring Neck Rd connect scattered homesteads. Genealogists and local historians will find the W G Flats Cem prominently marked, serving as a primary cultural landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the natural contours of the Black Hills' southeastern fringes and geographic points like Hay Canyon.
