About this map

Enning sits at the intersection of Co HWY MC-31 and Co HWY 22 S, serving as a central point for this high plains region in Meade County. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of several seasonal watercourses, including White Owl Cr, Bull Cr, and the eastern reaches of E Killdeer Cr. These creek beds carve through the ranchlands, often influencing the placement of local roads like Ranch Rd and Elm Springs Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Chalk Butte Cem in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, a significant landmark in an otherwise sparsely populated territory. The small cluster of structures at Enning includes a Po, emphasizing its role as a persistent community hub for the surrounding rural sections. The map meticulously documents the grid of township and range lines, such as t7n r13e and t8n r12e, which continue to dictate property boundaries and land use in this western South Dakota cattle-raising country.
