2015 Map of Date

About this map

Date remains a central point of this rural Perkins County landscape, defined by the winding paths of Antelope Cr and Dog Cr. The map details the vast grazing lands and open prairies of northwestern South Dakota, where section lines are marked by isolated roads like Peggy Creek Rd and Antelope Rd. This area reflects the late-period pastoral character of the High Plains, where the small community is anchored by the Date Cem and the intersection of local routes such as Date Rd. The drainage patterns of Brushy Cr and its tributaries reveal the subtle topography that has supported ranching for generations. Settlement is sparse, with the primary human footprint appearing in the form of gravel section roads and the legal boundaries of townships like t16n r12e and t15n r11e.
