2012 Map of Belvidere NW

About this map

Johnson Hill and Wolf Hill rise above a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle country in this Jackson County survey. The area is characterized by high ground such as the Raiders Hills and Round Hill, interspersed with natural basins like Sandstone Flat. Water management in this arid stretch of South Dakota is visible through the dendritic patterns of South Cr, Dry Cr, and Little Negro Cr, which carve out significant features like Big Negro Draw and Dead Horse Draw. Transportation in the early 21st century relied on a grid of rural routes including Powell RD and Co RD 4, providing access to the high points of Crawford Hill and the surrounding rangeland. This USGS data provides a modern record of the landforms and essential roadway network in the northwestern vicinity of Belvidere.
