2015 Map of Kennebec SW

About this map

Davis Cr meanders across this rural expanse of Lyman County, defining the drainage patterns in a landscape structured by the Public Land Survey System. The map shows a precise grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 244th St and 314th Ave, that delineate the agricultural parcels of the High Plains. A singular point of historical and genealogical interest is the Prairie View Cem, located near the intersection of 249th St and 313th Ave. This remote burial ground serves as a silent record of the families who settled this portion of South Dakota. The topography is characterized by subtle elevation changes and numerous small depressions, typical of the regional prairie potholes, which are captured in detail by the ten-foot contour intervals of this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey update.
