2021 Map of Willow Creek SW

About this map

Cedar Bluffs rises above a series of drainages in this section of Oglala Lakota County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of W Fork Willow Cr, Middle Fork Willow Cr, and Cedar Bluff Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain. A significant historical marker on the land is the route of Old Hwy 18, which traverses the southern portion of the map. This alignment provides a window into the mid-century transportation corridor through southwest South Dakota, showing how regional travel followed the natural contours of the land before modern interstate developments. The map highlights the intersection of Township and Range boundaries, including t39n r48w and t38n r47w, essential for land ownership and genealogical research in this part of the state.
