2017 Map of Blackpipe

About this map

Blackpipe sits at a crossroads in the northern plains of Bennett County, where the topography is defined by the drainage basins of the Missouri River watershed. The landscape is carved by several distinct waterways, including Bull Cr and Cottonwood Cr in the north, while Black Pipe Cr cuts through the southeastern corner. This 2017 survey details a region organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the transition between T39N and T38N across ranges R34W and R33W. The map reflects a predominantly rural and agricultural layout, with Putnam Rd providing one of the primary transit corridors through the rolling terrain. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex draws and ridges characteristic of this section of South Dakota, offering a precise view of the local drainage patterns and land elevation.
