2017 Map of Hayes North

About this map

Frozen Man Cr and Wagonhound Cr carve a network of drainages across this central South Dakota landscape. The map details a cattle-ranching territory where family holdings define the land use, including the Whiteman Ranch, Bentley Ranch, and Hohrman Ranch. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural grid of the plains, where gravel roads like Hayes Rd and N Brown Church Rd connect isolated homesteads and the settlement of Sansarc. A notable landmark for aviation and safety in this open country is the Hayes Emergency Airstrip, positioned near the southern boundary. The topography shows the subtle but complex breaks and draws characteristic of the region, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns that have historically dictated ranch placement and movement through the territory north of Hayes.
