2012 Map of Herreid NW

About this map

Lake Pocasse defines the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the waters meet a strictly organized grid of rural section lines. This survey captures a pocket of Campbell County where the early 21st-century topography remains dominated by agricultural commerce and local family connections. A network of numbered routes, such as 100th St SE and 10th Ave SE, crisscrosses the prairie, marking the boundaries of farms and homesteads. Local naming is evident in features like Reierson Pl, which suggests the enduring presence of family lineages in this part of the state. The map illustrates the intersection of natural drainage patterns with a human-imposed geometry, typical of the Dakotas' high-plains development.
