2012 Map of Hereford

About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through the southern reaches of this Meade County landscape, defining the local topography near the small settlement of Hereford. This western South Dakota terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, most notably Dry Elm Cr and Elm Cr, which cut across the prairie toward the larger river basin. The map reveals a structured grid of rural infrastructure, where Alkali Rd and 158th Ave provide essential access to the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. Modern road designations like Co Hwy MC-19 and Co Hwy MC-19A trace the evolution of travel in the region, connecting the quiet community of Hereford to the broader county network. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of the area, showing how the natural paths of Dry Cr still influence the placement of local thoroughfares and property boundaries.
