2017 Map of Hay Creek

About this map

Hay Cr and its many tributaries, including Bull Cr and Jones Cr, weave through this rural landscape in Harding County during the late 2010s. The area is defined by a sparse network of roads that follow the section lines and topography of the drainage basins, including Brown-Johnson Rd and Old Hwy 85. This portion of South Dakota reflects a traditional rangeland pattern where the hydrology of creeks like Boxelder Cr and Sheep Cr dictated the placement of local routes. The map detail provides a clear view of the township and range system, showing the surveyed divisions of T21N R5E and surrounding sections, which is essential for understanding land ownership and agricultural boundaries in this corner of the state.
