2015 Map of Archer Hill

About this map

White Lake and the wetlands of Wilkie Slough anchor this prairie landscape in Aurora County. The terrain is defined by glacial depressions and subtle elevations, most notably at Archer Hill in the center of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey reveals a rigid section-line road network characteristic of the Great Plains, where routes like Co 12, 374th Ave, and 247th St delineate large agricultural tracts and cattle grazing lands. In the southern portion, Scott Lake marks another significant water body within this drainage system. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology and the exact positioning of these small lakes and marshes, which are vital features for local land management and wildlife habitat in this part of South Dakota.
