2012 Map of Cottonwood Creek NW

About this map

The meandering Grand River defines the central topography of this Corson County landscape, carving a wide valley through the Rock Creek District. This 2012 survey documents a sparsely populated expanse of South Dakota rangeland, where the river's path is joined by northern tributaries like Cedar Boy Cr and the winding Meadow Cr to the south. The road network is strictly rectilinear, following section lines with routes such as Morristown Rd and 218th Ave providing the primary access through the drainage basin of Black Horse Butte Cr. The map captures the quiet character of the plains, where the relationship between the natural hydrology and the modern rural grid remains the primary geographic feature.
