2015 Map of Forbes SW

About this map

Willow Cr meanders through the heart of this rural McPherson County landscape, providing the primary drainage for a section of the Great Plains characterized by its steady, methodical township and range grid. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of the section-line road system, where corridors such as 361st Ave and 364th Ave serve as the primary conduits for local transport. The landscape is defined by its agricultural layout, marked by a series of numbered east-west thoroughfares from 105th St down to 113th St. While human settlement is sparse, the presence of Cr-19 and Ash Pl indicates the subtle infrastructure supporting the ranching and farming operations in this corner of South Dakota. The topography is etched with the drainage patterns of the creek and its intermittent tributaries, showing how the natural hydrology interacts with the rigid geometric boundaries of the public land survey system.
