2015 Map of Durkee Lake

About this map

Durkee Lake sits as the central focal point of this rural prairie landscape in Ziebach County, South Dakota. The drainage patterns across this terrain are highly defined, characterized by the branching networks of Red Scaffold Cr, Spook Cr, and Pretty Cr as they weave through the surrounding grasslands. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region primarily organized by a rigid section-line road system, including 169th St and 171st Ave. To the south, the headwaters of the Turtle Creek system emerge, shown here as the N Br Turtle Cr, W Br Turtle Cr, and E Br Turtle Cr. The map captures the quiet intersection of land and water in a remote portion of the state where the Meade County line forms the eastern boundary.
