2015 Map of Willow Creek SW

About this map

Cedar Bluffs rises as the primary landmark in this section of Oglala Lakota County, overlooking a landscape defined by the intermittent drainage of the Willow Creek system. The map documents the persistent path of Old US-18, a former arterial route that snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle, serving as a corridor through the high plains. Water features are concentrated in the north and east, where the W Fork Willow Cr and Middle Fork Willow Cr begin their descent. This 2015 survey provides a modern topographical look at the land within the boundaries of t39n r48w and t38n r47w, showing the enduring rural road patterns and the natural erosion features typical of this part of South Dakota, notably around Cedar Bluff Cr.
