About this map

Bad River drainage patterns define the northern reaches of this Jones County landscape, where the watercourse cuts through the high plains of South Dakota. The topography is dominated by a series of erosion-carved draws and intermittent stream beds, most notably Ash Draw and the extensive network of Dry Cr. These natural features reveal the rugged character of the West River region, illustrating how water has historically shaped the cattle-grazing lands and ranching territory of the interior. Human presence is sparse, anchored primarily by the transit corridor of Vanmetre Rd, which traverses the eastern sections of the map. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution view of the land before modern intensive development, preserving the legal land descriptions of t2n r27e, t2n r28e, t1n r27e, and t1n r28e for property researchers and local historians studying Jones County land use.
