2017 Map of Houghton

About this map

Houghton sits at the heart of this Brown County landscape, defined by the intricate winding of the James River and the expansive waters of the Columbia Road Reservoir. This 2017 survey captures a region where agriculture and conservation meet, illustrated by the network of section-line roads like 399th Ave and 112th St that crisscross the plains. A significant portion of the river corridor is dedicated to managed access, shown by the Auto Tour Rte and N Tour Rte which provide paths through the wetlands and river bends. The map documents the precise township and range divisions, including t127n r61w, revealing the enduring structure of South Dakota's rural land management and the importance of water resources in the northern prairie.
