2017 Map of Blunt NE

About this map

Medicine Knoll Cr meanders across this rural landscape in Sully County, defining the drainage patterns through the section lines north of Blunt. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads, including E Onida Rd and 320th Ave, which carve out the high plains of the Missouri Plateau. A notable landmark for family historians is Pleasant Cem, situated in the eastern portion of the quadrangle near the crossing of 186th St. To the north, Durrstein Lake occupies a low-lying basin, reflecting the glacial pothole topography common to this region of South Dakota. This 2017 survey shows the enduring geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t115n r74w marking the organized agricultural grid that has shaped the area since the homesteading era.
