About this map

Brave Bull Cr and its headwaters define the geography of this high plains landscape along the border of Haakon and Jackson counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of coulees and draws, where the W Fork Brave Bull Cr and Ash Cr converge to carve through the prairie. While the area remains largely undeveloped, the road network including Church Rd and Brave Bull Rd follows the high ridges, tracing the historical paths of travel between the remote ranch lands of western South Dakota. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the natural erosion cycles of the region, providing a clear view of the watershed as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
