2017 Map of Highmore SE

About this map

The county boundary between Hyde Co and Hand Co bisects this section of South Dakota prairie, where a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages defines the rural landscape. Much of the terrain is shaped by the wandering paths of Wolf Creek and Little Wolf Creek, which meander through the townships of t113n r71w and t112n r70w. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 192nd St and 344th Ave, which serve the dispersed agricultural homesteads of the region. This 2017 survey shows the persistence of traditional land divisions, with large tracts of open land punctuated by small potholes and marshes characteristic of the Missouri Coteau. Local transit is managed through a combination of numbered county routes like Co Rd 45 and Co Rd 959, which connect the remote farmsteads to the wider regional infrastructure.
