About this map

The White River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Lyman and Tripp counties, defining the landscape with significant geologic features like Horseshoe Bend. This 2021 survey reveals a rural prairie environment structured by a grid of section lines and local thoroughfares, including Oak Hills Rd and Wagon Rd. The drainage network is further established by Davis Cr and Thunder Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Evidence of early settlement and community history is anchored by the Red Hill Cem, situated on higher ground north of the river. The map illustrates the contemporary land management of South Dakota's south-central plains, where the intersection of De Jong Rd and Hollenback Rd serves as a modern reference point for a region characterized by its expansive drainages and the enduring influence of the White River valley.
