2015 Map of Kadoka NE

About this map

The rolling grasslands of Jackson County and southern Haakon County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems and section-line roads in this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study. The landscape is carved by numerous draws and creeks that form the headwaters of regional tributaries, including the extensive White Willow Cr and its associated landmarks like Butte Draw and Bushnell Draw. The map illustrates the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where infrastructure such as Willow Creek Rd, 239th St, and 229th Ave follows the boundaries of townships like t1s r21e and t1s r22e. This layout reveals the persistent cattle-ranching and agricultural organization of the South Dakota plains, where water sources like Brady Cr and Busy Cr remain central to land utility.
