2015 Map of East of Scotchman Lake

About this map

Little White River flows across the northern reach of this Bennett County landscape, carving a distinct valley through the high plains of South Dakota. The drainage network is further defined by Cedar Cr and the S Fork of Cedar Cr, which traverse the central and eastern sections. In the southwest, the presence of Clear Lake provides a significant hydrological marker in an otherwise arid expanse. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road system characteristic of the rural Great Plains, featuring routes like Hawk Rd, Kill Deer Rd, and Crane Rd. This grid reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t36n r34w and t35n r34w clearly delineated. The terrain is marked by subtle topographic rises and depressions, showing the transition between the river lowlands and the higher prairie flats.
