2017 Map of Cottonwood Creek NE

About this map

The Grand River meanders across this northern South Dakota landscape, carving a wide valley through the plains of Corson County. This 2017 topographic survey highlights the natural drainage patterns of the Rock Creek District, where tributary systems like Cottonwood Creek and Dirt Lodge Creek flow toward the main river channel. The map illustrates a region defined by its topography rather than dense settlement, with the Public Land Survey System grid of townships such as t20n r21e and t21n r21e providing the primary structure for land division. Local infrastructure is sparse, limited to rural routes like 230th Ave and various segments of Co RD that navigate the high ground between the river's winding bends.
