2021 Map of Belvidere SW

About this map

Buffalo Gap National Grassland dominates this portion of Jackson County, showcasing the vast open-range character of South Dakota's western plains. The meandering path of the White River carves through the southern section of the quadrangle, creating a distinct riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding dry uplands. Near the settlement of Kadoka, the Kadoka Municipal Airport serves as a local hub, while the presence of Flat Top Cem near Indian Cr provides a grounded point for genealogical research. The map captures a landscape defined by its section lines and watercourses, including Nancy Hanks Cr, reflecting the region's historical reliance on seasonal water for ranching and settlement. Transportation is marked by a network of county roads like Co RD 4 and various interior section-line tracks that bridge the gap between the prairie and the river valley.
