2021 Map of Durkee Lake

About this map

Red Scaffold Cr and Spook Cr wind through this part of Meade Co in the western South Dakota plains. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage patterns of the Turtle Creek system, including N Br Turtle Cr, E Br Turtle Cr, and W Br Turtle Cr. This modern survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where a sparse network of section-line roads like 171st Ave and 174th St provides access across the open terrain. 73 serves as the primary north-south artery, passing near the curiously named Vichting Loop and Pretty Cr. The map preserves the specific Public Land Survey System boundaries, delineating townships like t12n r17e and t11n r16e, which remain foundational to local land ownership and genealogy.
