2021 Map of Dry Run

About this map

Crow Creek and the ephemeral drainage of Dry Run define the open, unpopulated landscape of Buffalo County in this recent survey. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t107n r69w and t108n r68w marking out the vast agricultural and grazing tracts characteristic of the South Dakota prairie. The map reveals a strictly rectangular road network typical of the Great Plains, where section-line routes such as 356th Ave and 226th St provide the primary access through the country. Small drainages like Elm Cr cut through the sections, highlighting the subtle topographical variations in an area dominated by large-scale land divisions rather than concentrated settlements.
