2021 Map of Big Bend Dam NE

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The rolling plains of South Dakota are defined by a network of seasonal drainages including Wolf Cr and the W Fork Elm Cr as they cut through the grassland. This 2021 topographic record reveals the intersection of three counties—Hyde, Buffalo, and Hand—where the sectional grid of the Public Land Survey System meets a sparsely populated landscape. Transport in the region relies on a systematic grid of section-line roads such as 343rd Ave and 218th St, alongside more specific thoroughfares like Lees Blvd. The map highlights the vast drainage basin of Elm Cr and its tributaries, illustrating how the natural topography dictates the placement of rural infrastructure and agricultural boundaries across these high plains.
