2021 Map of Haydraw

About this map

Haydraw sits within a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and high plains in Meade County, South Dakota. The topography is marked by the sprawling Harwood Flat and the etched pathways of Hay Cr, Maddox Draw, and W Bull Cr. This area reflects a classic Western ranching and homesteading pattern, where infrastructure follows the natural contours of the land. Hay Draw Rd and Co Hwy Mc-27 serve as primary arteries through the various townships, including t6n r11e and t5n r12e. For genealogists and local historians, the Haydraw Cem remains a critical point of interest, anchoring the modern map to its earlier pioneer roots. The map detail illustrates how water sources like E Elm Cr influenced the naming and placement of early rural roads like Oxbow Pl and Hope Rd.
