2017 Map of East of Scotchman Lake

About this map

Little White River meanders across the northern reaches of this Bennett County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by the Sandhills hydrology of southern South Dakota. The area is characterized by a series of isolated basins and watering holes, including the notable Muskrat Lake and Clear Lake in the southern and central sections. This 2017 survey reflects the sparse, open range land typical of the region, where infrastructure is limited to local routes such as 298 St. The drainage network, including Cedar Cr and the S Fork of Cedar Cr, illustrates the subtle elevation changes of the high plains. Near the southern border, North Cody Lake serves as a significant landmark in a territory defined more by its natural water features than by dense human settlement.
