About this map

Perkins County's high plains landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and township boundaries in this 2021 study. The terrain is characterized by subtle depressions and depressions indicative of the region's semi-arid geography, intersected by a network of rural roads such as Rd 761 and Rd 760. These routes form the primary infrastructure for the agricultural operations that dominate the area, connecting remote farmsteads across t10n r40w and t10n r39w.

A distinct diagonal feature cuts across the township grid, representing a departure from the cardinal orientation of the surrounding county roads. This path, running between Rd 758 and Rd 760, highlights the intersection of modern transportation with the historic Public Land Survey System. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and intermittent water features that shape the local environment.
