There is a thick tributary of the Rapid Creek running along the Western border of the settlement good for watering livestock. Locals call this southern tributary just “South Creek.” An ancient, overgrown forest along this tributary is a source of concern, but the flat areas to the West along the tributary make for good pasture and farmland. | + | New Shepford is the site of a lot of open space, appropriate for herding sheep.
