About this map

Odessa, Cloyd Valley, Hudson, and Madison townships define the human geography of this 1974 survey. This area of central South Dakota is characterized by a high density of small depressional wetlands and potholes, many of which are protected within the National Waterfowl Production Area. The landscape is fundamentally agricultural, organized by the rectangular township and range system with section lines often serving as the primary road network. Human activity is evidenced by scattered farmsteads and localized Gravel Pits. Conservation and recreation are significant land uses, notably at the Steigelmeier State Public Shooting Area, where the prairie environment is managed for wildlife habitat. The reliance on subterranean water sources is noted by various Well locations across the plains, which support both livestock and domestic needs in this semi-arid region.
