2012 Map of Lantry NE

About this map

The Moreau River meanders through the heart of the Dewey County landscape, carving a wide basin across this northern South Dakota plain. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse prairie environment defined by its watercourses, where the river is joined by Red Earth Cr and Meadow Cr. The most significant cultural landmark is the Green Grass Cem, located on the eastern side of the quadrangle near the riverbanks. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the river valley, with most roads and tracks following the natural contours of the drainage system rather than a strict grid, reflecting the adaptations required for life in the western Dakota grasslands.
