Flooding on Box Elder Creek South of Deadwood, South Dakota
uploaded by Ms. Kathleen
South of Deadwood, South Dakota off of Paha Sapa Road: We have had rain and more rain and maybe more again
later today. The Northeast fork of Box Elder Creek, which flows into Kinship Pond has
flooded and the pond itself has flooded and turned into about
three streams, which are fortunately flowing into Box Elder Creek on
the other side of the dam.
Unfortunately the flooding wiped out a small walking bridge and the pond has been expanded. I took a walk and explored all that had occurred during the night.
The electricity was also out for about two hours last night during the storm before coming back on around 12:30 a.m.

Ms. Kathleen, I like this story. That's a lot of water! I can't believe it wiped out a bridge!

It was great to see these photos of Box Elder Creek. I was just reading about my great uncle, Abel Lester Doughty, who lived in a dug-out on Box Elder Creek back in the 1880 or 90's and decided to google Box Elder Creek in South Dakota. It's beautiful country, but glad it didn't flood like that when he lived there!

Abel Lester was my G-Grandfather, my G-Father was George Dewey Doughty. My father is George Lester Doughty still living in Custer, SD. Thank you for the pictures and information, it all goes in a file for sorting.
