2017 Map of Hereford

About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds through the southern reaches of this Meade County landscape, defining the local topography and drainage patterns. The small settlement of Hereford sits at the intersection of Alkali Rd and Wuring Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. North of the river, a series of seasonal drainages including Dry Cr, Dry Elm Cr, and Elm Cr carve deep channels into the prairie, illustrating the erosional forces that shape this portion of South Dakota. Genealogical and historical interest is anchored by the Saint Eustace Cem, located along Hereford Rd. The map detail captures the modern road network, such as Cross S Rd and Landfall Pl, overlaid on the traditional Public Land Survey System grids of t6n r10e and t5n r10e.
