About this map

Medicine Knoll Creek meanders through this portion of Sully County, cutting a winding path across the landscape northeast of Blunt. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Medicine Knoll Cr and its various unnamed tributaries, which have carved shallow draws into the prairie. Settlement is sparse, characterized by a regular grid of section-line roads such as 316th Ave and E Onida Rd.

A small window into the local community's history is found at Pleasant Cem, located near the intersection of 186th St and 320th Ave. This cemetery serves as a primary landmark in a region otherwise dominated by large-scale agricultural parcels. The map meticulously documents the rural infrastructure, including a network of numbered thoroughfares like 183rd St and 190th St, which facilitate movement across the expansive South Dakota plains.
