2012 Map of Deadmans Lake

About this map

The Little White River meanders across this landscape of Bennett County, South Dakota, defining a complex drainage system that includes the expansive Little White River Pool Reservoir. This water-rich geography is a central characteristic of the region, featuring several isolated bodies of water such as Deadmans Lake and White Lake in the north. The terrain is marked by a grid of rural section roads, including Pheasant Rd Ln and Refuge Rd, which navigate around the wetlands and tributaries like Spring Cr and Lake Cr. This map documents a sparsely populated but ecologically significant area, where the river's path creates a distinct pattern of winding curves against the geometric lines of agricultural and grazing lands, providing a clear view of the hydraulic engineering and natural hydrology near Martin in the early 21st century.
