About this map

Okobojo Creek winds through this rural Sully County landscape, an area defined by agricultural fence lines and small-scale water management during the mid-1970s. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Cottonwood Lake State Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds Cottonwood Lake. This recreational and conservation hub includes specific amenities such as a Campground, Boat Ramp, and Public Access points, highlighting the importance of the lake to the local community.

Social and educational markers are sparse but significant, including the Rich Valley Sch and the small settlement of Rivenes in the southern sections. This survey provides a precise look at the prairie topography and the scattered Gravel Pits that supported local infrastructure. The inclusion of numerous unchecked fence and field lines offers researchers a detailed view of land use and property boundaries in this part of South Dakota.
