2015 Map of Blackpipe

About this map

The high plains of Bennett County come into focus through the drainage systems of Black Pipe Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the terrain south of the Blackpipe settlement. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural landscape defined by section lines and an sparse network of named roads including Moose Rd, Bobcat Rd, and Antelope Rd. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes between the creek beds and the surrounding ridges, particularly where Bull Cr and Lost Turkey Cr converge in the northern sections. While Blackpipe serves as the primary named community center, the map primarily documents the enduring Public Land Survey System grid, showing the township and range divisions of T39N and T38N that have shaped South Dakota land ownership for generations.
