2012 Map of East of Scotchman Lake

About this map

The Little White River meanders across the northern reaches of this Bennett County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by wide drainage basins and rural section roads. This 2012 survey documents the water systems of the High Plains, where Cedar Cr and its tributary, the S Fork of Cedar Cr, carve through the terrain. Significant water bodies such as Clear Lake in the west and North Cody Lake on the eastern boundary serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated area. The grid of service roads, including Kill Deer Rd and Co Line Rd, reflects the large-scale agricultural and ranching divisions typical of western South Dakota. This map provides a precise record of the natural prairie drainage patterns and local transit routes before further modern development.
