2015 Map of Capa

About this map

Capa sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, positioned just south of the winding Bad River. The terrain is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and dry drainages, with the prominent Flat Top Butte rising as a distinct landmark in the central portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Riverview Cem is located on the bluffs overlooking the river valley, offering a tangible link to the early residents of this Jones County region. The map captures a grid of rural routes including 259th Ave and 231st St, which intersect a landscape primarily shaped by natural watercourses like Big Prairie Dog Cr and Dry Cr. These features highlight the sparse settlement patterns and the essential role of topography in defining the character of the South Dakota prairie.
