2015 Map of King Dam

About this map

Thunder Creek meanders through the heart of this Tripp County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns south of Covey Dam. The area is characterized by a high-altitude prairie landscape where agricultural land is partitioned by an organized grid of section-line roads, including 264th St and 318th Ave. A focal point for local history is the Ideal Cemetery, located near the intersection of 266th St and 315th Ave, which serves as a primary marker for the Ideal community. The map also highlights significant water management features like the King Dam, which provides essential water storage in this semi-arid region of South Dakota. The presence of routes like Cr-6139 suggests a reliance on a well-maintained rural infrastructure to connect these remote holdings and water resources.
