2020 Map of Lefor SW

About this map

Pleasant View Cem serves as a lone local landmark in this prairie landscape of Hettinger County, marking the heritage of the rural community southeast of the Lefor area. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including the headwaters of Thirtymile Cr in the north and the meandering path of Hay Slough Creek to the south. A rigid grid of section-line roads, such as 110 Ave SW and 61 St SW, underscores the importance of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this agricultural region. Distinctive local names like Bomber Club Rd and Dead Horse Cr hint at the storied history of the land use and ranching culture that persisted into the twenty-first century. This survey documents the intersection of several townships, including t136n r96w and t135n r95w, showing a landscape still primarily dedicated to wide-open range and cultivation.
