2017 Map of Dalzell

About this map

The Dalzell settlement serves as the primary focal point of this South Dakota landscape, situated within a topography defined by drainage basins and prairie plateaus. To the northwest, the Belle Fourche River cuts across the corner of the map, while numerous ephemeral waterways like Bradley Draw and Trussman Draw segment the plains. The road network, including Dalzell Rd and Smithville Rd, reflects a pattern of rural connectivity established along section lines and geographic features. Notable landmarks such as Shepherd Flat and Sand Springs Draw indicate the historical reliance on local water sources and natural landforms for navigation and naming conventions in Meade County. This 2017 record preserves the modern spatial arrangement of ranches and local infrastructure across the western South Dakota prairie.
