2015 Map of Stove Creek

About this map

Stove Cr meanders eastward through the heart of this Dewey County landscape, defining the drainage patterns of this central South Dakota region. The map reveals a remote, open terrain where the elevation gradually descends toward the river breaks, shaped by seasonal watercourses like Scatter Butte Cr and the E Br Willow Cr. These drainage systems are central to the local topography, influencing the placement of section lines and rural access roads across the townships of T12N and T13N. Without major settlements or towns, the map serves as a detailed record of the natural hydrology and land divisions that govern this part of the state, providing an essential resource for those studying the physical geography or land-use history of the area.
