2021 Map of Farwell NW

About this map

James River meanders through the southwestern corner of this Sanborn County landscape, where the prairie is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Jim Cr and Dry Run. In 2021, the area remains a study in rural precision, governed by the section lines of the Public Land Survey System including t106n r60w and t105n r59w. The land is gridded by an extensive network of local thoroughfares such as 411th Ave and 234th St, revealing the enduring agricultural layout of eastern South Dakota. Notable local connectors like Ruml Rd and Co Hwy 29 provide access across the terrain, which is dotted with numerous small wetlands and basins characteristic of the region's glacial topography. This map documents the intersection of natural hydrology and the man-made grid that facilitates the life of the modern High Plains.
