1981 Map of Stove Creek

About this map

The Gray family ranches define the early 1980s landscape within the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, illustrating a pattern of widely dispersed rural homesteading in Dewey County. Remote operations like the Oscar Gray Ranch in the north and the Dan Gray Ranch to the south are connected by a network of unimproved roads and cattle trails that follow the natural drainage basins. The area is dominated by the winding course of Stove Creek, which draws several tributaries including Parker Creek across the central plains. To the south, the terrain rises toward the prominent elevation of Scatter Butte, which overlooks the headwaters of Scatter Butte Creek and the East Branch Willow Creek. This survey provides a clear view of how water sources and land ownership shaped settlement in this portion of South Dakota's grasslands during the late twentieth century.
