2021 Map of Black Eyes

About this map

Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr defines the drainage of this segment of Bennett County, carving a winding path through the prairie landscape alongside tributaries like Pretty Hip Cr and Red Horse Cr. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a rural landscape primarily shaped by natural hydrology and a section-line grid system. The only major named transit route is Hisle Rd, which cuts north-south across the center of the quadrangle. The map is dominated by traditional township and range divisions, specifically t39n r37w and t38n r37w, illustrating the vast, open nature of this South Dakota terrain. This modern topographic study provides an accurate record of water flow and elevation before any significant 21st-century development, focusing on the intricate creek networks like Spring Cr and Horse Cr.
