About this map

Elm Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this Meade County landscape, defining the rural character of the region. The map captures a sparsely populated territory north of New Underwood, where the land is organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t6n r10e and t5n r11e. Water is the primary geographic feature, with E Elm Cr, Hay Cr, and Dry Elm Cr winding through the terrain. A grid of section-line roads and named routes, including New Underwood Rd and Alkali Rd, provides the essential infrastructure for the ranches and homesteads that dot this prairie environment. The presence of routes like Hay Draw Rd and Cross S Rd reflects the enduring agricultural and livestock-focused economy of this portion of South Dakota.
