About this map

Sturgis anchors the southwestern edge of this Meade County landscape, where the town's industrial and municipal reach meets the rising topography of the Black Hills foothills. The Sturgis Municipal Airport sits on the flatlands just north of the city center, serving as a modern landmark in a region traditionally defined by its drainage systems. The map shows a transition from urban development to rural ranching and open space, organized by the township and range system.

A network of seasonal waterways including Bear Butte Cr, Spring Cr, and Alkali Cr carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural corridors like Co Hwy Mc-10 and Alkali Rd. The settlement of Bear Butte appears near the northern boundary, situated among the draws and ridges that characterize this part of South Dakota. This survey captures the specific modern road grid, from Titan Rd to local avenues, as it navigates the natural breaks in the land.
