2021 Map of Black Horse NE

About this map

The Grand River carves a deeply sinuous path through this section of the Dakotas, defining a landscape marked by dramatic drainage patterns and isolated landmarks. The river's winding course is fed by several tributaries, including White Shirt Cr, Soldier Cr, and Hump Cr, which cut through the high prairie terrain. This 2021 survey illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the region, where wide-open spaces are punctuated only by essential community sites. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Holy Spirit Cem in the southern portion of the map, near the banks of Firesteel Cr, provides a specific point of reference for family research in this part of Corson County. The map clearly delineates the township and range boundaries that organize this rural territory, showing the relationship between natural watercourses and the established land survey system.
