2012 Map of Dalzell

About this map

Dalzell serves as the focal point for this rural expanse in Meade County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Belle Fourche River at the northern boundary and Elk Cr to the southwest. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region structured by a network of local routes like Smithville Rd and Co Hwy Mc-6a. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainages and ephemeral watercourses, most notably Bradley Draw and Sand Springs Draw. These features highlight the importance of water management and topography in the development of Western South Dakota, showing how modern corridors like Dalzell Rd and River Rd continue to follow the natural contours of the land established by early settlers.
