2015 Map of Lake Hurley

About this map

Lake Hurley and the surrounding prairie of Potter County characterize this 2015 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Little Cheyenne Cr as it winds toward the eastern shores of Lake Oahe, which appears at the western edge of the map. This area of South Dakota maintains its rural township structure, with property and section lines marked by a grid of local roads such as Cr-103 and 158th St. The presence of E Whitlock Acc and Sd-1804 indicates the primary corridors for access to the Missouri River reservoirs. These modern access roads and the surrounding section lines provide a clear view of how public land and local infrastructure interact with the natural coulees and depressions of the northern Great Plains.
