2015 Map of Burkmere

About this map

Burkmere sits at the heart of this Faulk County landscape, reflecting the grid-based agricultural development of the South Dakota prairie in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by its subtle drainage patterns, most notably along the S Fork Snake Cr and the topographical depression of Vogeler Draw. This area maintains a strictly organized section line road system, from 157th St in the north down to 164th St in the south, which facilitates the region's ranching and farming operations. Historical continuity is marked by the presence of Bass Cem, a small burial ground located south of the main settlement area near the creek. The map reveals the characteristic prairie pothole landscape, where numerous small, seasonally wet depressions dot the plains between the established township boundaries of t118n r70w and t119n r71w.
