About this map

Sandstone Flat and the surrounding high plains define the topography of this corner of South Dakota, where the Haakon Co Jackson Co line marks the northern boundary of the survey. The landscape is carved by a network of drainage channels, including the winding Little Negro Cr and Indian Cr, which cut through the open rangeland. Named high points like Johnson Hill, Wolf Hill, and the Raiders Hills provide rare verticality in a region dominated by wide basins and erosion-carved features.

Local navigation follows a sparse grid of rural roads such as S Creek Rd and Indian Creek Rd, tracing the paths of earlier tracks across the prairie. The map documents specific land features like Dead Horse Draw and Big Negro Draw, which reflect the localized, descriptive naming conventions of the American West. At the southern edge, Crawford Hill stands as a distinct landmark for those navigating this section of the state's interior.
