2021 Map of Dixon SW

About this map

Lone Tree Cr and S Fork Whetstone Cr drain this upland portion of Gregory County, where the landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and range boundaries. The area is divided among several townships, including t98n r73w and t99n r72w, reflecting the structured agricultural settlement of South Dakota's south-central plains. The map reveals a transition in drainage patterns, with Bull Cr and its tributary, E Br Bull Cr, carving modest draws through the prairie. While no major towns are shown on this specific quadrangle, the dense network of local routes like Co Rd 19 and Co Rd 17 illustrates the reach of the county road system serving isolated farmsteads. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary rural infrastructure and the persistent natural drainage features that have dictated land use in the region for generations.
