2021 Map of Bams Butte NW

About this map

J B Rd provides a primary east-west corridor across this segment of Harding County, South Dakota, where the High Plains landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage network. The terrain is etched by several seasonal watercourses, most notably Clarks Fork Cr in the northwest and Double X Cr winding through the eastern sections. These creeks, along with Goose Cr and Duck Cr, illustrate the subtle topographic variations that have historically influenced land use and travel in this sparsely populated region. The map captures the geometric regularity of the Public Land Survey System, showing several township divisions including t17n r5e and t18n r6e. This 2021 study reflects the continued character of the Great Plains, where long-established road names and drainage patterns remain the primary landmarks for local navigation and land management.
