About this map

Gregory County's agricultural landscape is defined by the drainage network of the S Fork Whetstone Cr and Petes Cr. This survey of the southern plains captures a rural geography organized by the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships t97n r71w and t96n r70w. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous unnamed draws and ridges that feed into Coon Cr, illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of this portion of South Dakota. Human activity is recorded primarily through a grid of section-line roads, including Sundance Rd, Frey Rd, and Hawk Rd, which provide access to the dispersed farmsteads and open rangeland of the Milk's Camp Segment. Small lanes like Dakota Ln and various numbered streets provide the only break in the wide-reaching prairie topography, reflecting a modern era of localized rural transportation.
