About this map

N Fork Whetstone Cr and the S Fork Whetstone Cr converge in this dissected plateau region of Gregory County, carving a network of drainages across the landscape. The area is defined by a sparse rural road network that follows both section lines and the natural contours of the terrain, including Roadkill Dr and the creatively named Turkey Vulcher Rd. These local corridors provide access to the various tributaries of the Whetstone system, such as Sand Cr and Petes Cr.

The presence of SD-1806 along the eastern edge suggests a primary transportation artery through this prairie environment. Modern land use and rural habitation are evidenced by names like Prairie Dr, Whitetail Rd, and Buffalo Dr, which reflect the local wildlife and geography. This survey provides a clear view of the complex topography and drainage patterns within the t97n r70w and t96n r69w townships.
