About this map

Timber Cr meanders across this rural section of Spink County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape primarily structured by the Public Land Survey System. The map shows the intersection of four townships, including t119n r62w and t118n r61w, where the prairie is organized by a precise grid of county roads and section lines. These corridors, such as Co Rd 7 and Co Rd 5, represent the essential infrastructure of South Dakota’s agricultural heartland. While the terrain appears largely open, the intricate network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses indicates the subtle relief and hydrological complexity of the James River Valley region during the early 21st century. The map serves as a record of land divisions and rural thoroughfares like 164th St and 157th St, which provide the primary access to the remote farmsteads and fields of the area.
