About this map

Shadehill Reservoir dominates this Perkins County landscape, capturing the waters of the S Fork Grand River and its various tributaries. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Lodgepole Cr to the north and Butcher Cr to the south, reflecting a remote ranching region of South Dakota. Local history is anchored at the Norwegian Cem on the western edge and Sein Cem near the river bend, points of interest for genealogists tracing early prairie settlement. The road network, including White Butte Rd and Pleasant Ridge Rd, follows the high ground between these winding waterways, illustrating how the geography of the Grand River system dictated the placement of local infrastructure and early community landmarks.
