2015 Map of Brakke Dam

About this map

Medicine Cr and its tributaries carve through the rolling Lyman County landscape, defining the hydrology of this South Dakota section. Central to the area is the Brakke Dam, which creates a significant water feature in a region otherwise characterized by agricultural drainages like Nail Cr and Grouse Cr. The presence of the Earling Cem near 240th St offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this sparsely populated township. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Anderson Aerial Spraying Airport, highlighting the region's continued reliance on aviation for large-scale farming operations. A grid of section roads, including 312th Ave and 237th St, provides the primary framework for movement across the plains, while the Brakke Lake Acc denotes a specific point of entry for local recreation at the reservoir.
