2015 Map of Hereford NE

About this map

Elm Cr and its tributaries define this expanse of western South Dakota, carving a network of drainage patterns through the prairie. The landscape is structured by a strict section-line road system, including New Underwood Rd and Wilcox Rd, reflecting the late-era ranching and agricultural divisions of the region. Local transit is further facilitated by specialized routes such as Hay Draw Rd and Hope Rd, which navigate the terrain around E Elm Cr and Dry Elm Cr. This survey illustrates how contemporary land management continues to utilize the natural waterways of the Hay Cr watershed for property boundaries and access. The map reveals the persistent rural character of Meade County, where the topography dictates the placement of long-standing paths like Alkali Rd and Cross S Rd.
