2017 Map of Durkee Lake

About this map

Durkee Lake sits at the heart of this Ziebach County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, featuring the convergences of Spook Cr, Red Scaffold Cr, and Pretty Cr. Further south, the map details the distinct headwaters of the Turtle Creek system, specifically the N Br Turtle Cr, W Br Turtle Cr, and E Br Turtle Cr. This modern survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with a sparse grid of roads such as 171st Ave and 173rd St providing the only overland access through the grazing lands. The boundary with Meade Co runs along the eastern edge, marking the transition between administrative districts in this quiet corner of South Dakota.
