2015 Map of Iron Shell Flat West

About this map

Iron Shell Flat serves as the central geographic landmark of this western South Dakota prairie, where the jurisdictional boundary between Bennett Co and Todd Co bisects the landscape along Co Line Rd. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of creeks, including the winding Running Enemy Cr, Coffee Cr, and Cut Meat Cr. These watercourses carve through the high plains, providing a vital network for the ranching and agricultural operations that define the region. For local historians and genealogists, Saint Marys Cem stands as a significant point of interest on the eastern side of the survey. The infrastructure is characterized by a sparse but essential grid of rural routes such as Upper Rd and 292nd St, facilitating movement across the expansive open ranges of this section of the Great Plains.
