2017 Map of Faith NW

About this map

The small settlement of Usta serves as the central point of interest in this western South Dakota landscape, situated along a north-south roadway that intersects the sprawling drainage basin of the Moreau River. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Rabbit Cr, Porcupine Cr, and Mud Cr, which carve through the plains of Perkins County. This survey shows the region's rural character, where movement is dictated by a few primary routes such as Usta Rd and Arrowhead Rd. The map illustrates the sparse, high-plains geography of the Missouri Plateau, revealing how early 21st-century infrastructure follows the natural corridors created by these perennial and intermittent streams like Deep Cr.
