2015 Map of Faith SW

About this map

The Perkins County and Meade County border divides this 2015 survey of the South Dakota prairie, a landscape defined by its network of intermittent waterways and established section lines. The drainage of Flint Rock Cr dominates the northern half of the quadrangle, while Red Scaffold Cr cuts through the southeastern corner. This area reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System structure, with topographic data from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrating the subtle elevation changes of the Great Plains. The road network follows the rigorous logic of the grid, with routes like 191st Ave and 161st St providing access to this agricultural and ranching region. Traditional named thoroughfares such as Wagon Rd and Avance Rd cross the section lines, suggesting older travel patterns that predated the strict cardinal-direction grid.
