2017 Map of Dry Run

About this map

Dry Run carves through the central landscape of this South Dakota interior, defining a drainage pattern that moves toward the more prominent Crow Creek in the southeast. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for T108N, T107N, and T106N across ranges R69W and R68W creating a distinct grid over the undulating prairie. A network of rural section roads, including 356th Ave and 229th St, facilitates access through Buffalo County, reflecting the sparse, organized settlement typical of the Great Plains. These routes follow the section lines closely, deviating only where the intermittent flows of Elm Cr and other small draws break the tabletop geography. The map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology of the region as it existed in the late twenty-teens.
