2021 Map of Keyapaha SE

About this map

The Keya Paha River winds through the northern reaches of this Tripp County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns alongside tributaries like Sand Cr and Shadley Cr. This 2021 survey reveals a strictly organized rural grid system, where section lines are traced by gravel and dirt roads such as 296th St and 304th Ave. The terrain is characterized by the subtle topographical variations of the Great Plains, showing how the natural hydrology of the Shadley Cr basin dictates the placement of river crossings and access points within the Public Land Survey System sections of t96n r78w and t95n r78w. This map is a clear record of modern land management and road networks in a sparsely populated agricultural region of South Dakota.
