About this map

Okobojo Creek winds through the southeastern portion of this Sully County landscape, carving a subtle drainage pattern into the high plains of South Dakota. The area is defined by the strict rectilinear logic of the Public Land Survey System, featuring township boundaries such as t116n r78w and t115n r78w. A sparse but rhythmic grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 176th St and 300th Ave, organizes the agricultural terrain. This survey from the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape almost entirely dedicated to large-scale ranching or dryland farming, with very few structures or named settlements interrupting the vast, open spaces of the Missouri Plateau. The few water features, like Okobojo Cr, represent critical landmarks in this semi-arid region where topographic relief is minimal and the horizon is dominated by the geometric alignment of rural routes.
