2017 Map of Capa NW

About this map

Bad River and Big Prairie Dog Creek define the drainage patterns of this Great Plains landscape, where the northern border of Jones County meets Stanley County. The terrain is a network of draws and ridges, primarily navigated by a grid of rural section-line roads such as 258th Ave and 219th St. The intersection of Stanley Co Jones Co serves as a major geographical divide in this cattle-country environment. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by named gravel routes including Bad River Road and Capa Road, which provide access to the remote ranchlands of Township 3 North, Range 26 East. The map reflects the enduring land use patterns of central South Dakota, where the placement of water sources and the surveyed township boundaries remain the primary markers of human organization.
