2017 Map of Herreid SW

About this map

Spring Cr winds through the rolling prairie of Campbell County, cutting a subtle path across a landscape defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. This 2017 study captures the rural character of northern South Dakota, where the vastness of the plains is organized by a meticulous grid of section lines and gravel roads. Transport and property boundaries are marked by thoroughfares such as 300th Ave and 105th St, illustrating the long-standing agricultural layout that has persisted since the era of original homesteading. The terrain is dotted with seasonal wetlands and depressions, characteristic of the glacial till landscape, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology that dictates the region's land use and road placement.
