About this map

Snake Creek and Deep Bank Creek define the drainage patterns of this prairie landscape in Corson County. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of these seasonal waterways, which carve across the northern Great Plains. Human presence is marked primarily by the section-line grid of the rural road system, including Co RD 20, Co RD 7, and the primary Co RD corridor in the north. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the topography and land management boundaries within the Standing Rock Reservation area, showing the intersection of natural hydrology and the rectilinear rural transportation network.
