About this map

The Grand River National Grassland dominates this landscape in northern South Dakota, preserving a vast expanse of shortgrass prairie ecosystem. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage network that defines the region, where numerous waterways like Thunder-Hawk Cr, Thunder Hawk Cr, and its eastern fork, E Thunder Hawk Cr, carve through the rolling terrain. These creeks eventually feed toward the Grand River, which meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle.

The presence of Lemmon Lake provides a localized water resource in an otherwise arid drainage basin. Human impact on the land is marked primarily by a rigid grid of section lines and gravel routes such as Lemmon Lake Rd, Dewitt Rd, and Airport Rd. The map also illustrates the transition from the open grassland into the eastern edge of Perkins Co, providing a precise look at the hydrology and land management boundaries of Corson County.
