2015 Map of Highmore SE

About this map

Wolf Cr and its tributary, Little Wolf Cr, dictate the drainage patterns across this section of the Great Plains, where the landscape is meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System. The boundary between Hyde Co and Hand Co runs north-to-south through the center of the map, dividing the territory into distinct townships including t113n r71w and t112n r70w. This 2015 survey illustrates a vast, open agricultural environment defined by a rigid grid of rural section-line roads such as 191st St and 340th Ave. The terrain is characterized by gentle depressions and intermittent watercourses, reflecting the subtle topographic shifts typical of central South Dakota's prairie lands. This map is a primary resource for understanding contemporary land use and the enduring structure of late-twentieth-century county-line divisions in a sparsely populated region.
