2012 Map of High Elk Hill NW

About this map

Little Bear Cr flows through the northwestern corner of this territory in District 4, South Dakota, defining a landscape marked by intermittent watercourses and a network of county roads. The drainage patterns of Rudy Cr and Dupree Cr dominate the southern half of the sheet, where several unnamed small ponds and wetlands gather. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of the region, anchored by the intersection of Co Hwy-23 and Co Hwy-22. While the terrain is largely defined by these natural drainages, the grid of Co Rd routes indicates the distributed ranching or agricultural divisions typical of this part of the state. The map serves as a precise record of the hydrography and road system in the early 21st century.
