2012 Map of Bald Hills

About this map

Bald Hills define the terrain of this rural Potter County landscape, where the survey reveals a sparse but methodical grid of section roads and section lines. This 2012 snapshot of central South Dakota shows a transition in infrastructure, where major corridors like Co Hwy-3 and Ellisville Ave anchor the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The interior is defined by long, straight gravel and dirt paths such as 331st Ave and 173rd St, which navigate the subtle rises of the hills and the occasional prairie pothole or intermittent drainage. Genealogists and local historians will find the exact alignment of these rural routes essential for locating ancestral homesteads or family farmsteads that defined the local agricultural economy in the early 21st century.
