About this map

Imogene sits at the intersection of 156th St and Cedar Canyon Rd in the vast Perkins County landscape. This portion of the northern plains is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Moreau River is fed by numerous watercourses including Big Cedar Cr, Little Cedar Cr, and Brushy Cr. The terrain reveals the sharp transitions of the South Dakota prairie, notably the eroded formations of the Badlands and the prominent elevation of Rocky Butte.

Remote roads like Ridgeview Rd and Moreau River Rd provide the primary access to these ranching lands. Geologists and local historians can observe the intricate landforms of Dillon Draw and the isolated Beck Lake, illustrating how water and wind have shaped this specific quadrant of the Missouri Plateau. The map effectively documents the township and range grid system across this prairie environment, anchoring the small settlement of Imogene within its larger geographic context.
