About this map

Usta serves as the primary focal point of this western South Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of S Dakota Hwy 73 and Usta Rd. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Moreau River, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This prairie environment is further articulated by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Rabbit Cr in the north, Porcupine Cr, and Deep Cr. The road network, featuring routes like Arrowhead Rd, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land management patterns in Perkins County during the early 21st century. This survey documents the persistent relationship between sparse high-plains settlements and the vital river systems that anchor them.
