About this map

S Fork Cedar Cr and Bad Horse Cr wind through this segment of the Missouri River highlands in central South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t107n r76w and t108n r76w organizing the terrain into a regular grid of sections. This geometric division of the plains is reflected in the modern road network, where numbered thoroughfares such as 312th Ave and 232nd St follow the section lines almost exclusively. In the southwest corner, Grouse Cr cuts across the prairie, while the presence of Sd-1806 provides a primary transit corridor through these rural ranchlands. The map serves as a clear record of how early territorial surveying continues to dictate the infrastructure and movement across the Lyman County countryside.
