2012 Map of Avance

About this map

Avance serves as a central point of settlement in this part of Meade County, where the landscape is defined by a dendritic network of prairie drainages. The area is dominated by the prominence of Stony Butte, a high point that overlooks the winding courses of Stony Butte Cr and Wolf Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote rural infrastructure of the South Dakota plains, where sections are divided by gravel routes and local roads like Co HWY MC-37 and 194th PL. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, featuring numerous named branches such as Brushy Cr, Jimmy Cr, and Johnny Cr that channel water toward larger systems like W Br Turtle Cr and Red Scaffold Cr.
