2012 Map of Faith SW

About this map

Flint Rock Cr and its many unnamed tributaries weave through this section of Meade County, creating a dendritic drainage pattern typical of the South Dakota plains. The landscape is defined by its wide-open ranching character, where the human footprint is primarily marked by a strictly aligned section-line road grid. Notable thoroughfares include Viking Rd and 161st Ave, which provide access to this expansive prairie terrain. In the southern portion of the map, Wagon Rd and the crossing of Red Scaffold Cr indicate the sparse but essential network connecting remote homesteads. The infrastructure here, including Co Hwy Mc-37, underscores the transition of old prairie trails into the modern rural highway system maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century.
