2015 Map of Letcher NE

About this map

The James River meanders southeastward across this Sanborn County landscape, defining the topography of the northeastern corner of the Letcher area. The river is joined by the modest Jim Cr in the eastern section of the sheet, creating a riparian corridor through an otherwise geometric grid of section lines and agricultural roads. Cultural landmarks are sparse in this rural prairie setting, but include the Butler Cem located along 408th Ave. Local transportation and aviation are represented by the presence of MJ Aviation I situated near the intersection of 241st St and 405th Ave. The map reflects a highly organized land-use pattern typical of the Dakotas, where the Public Land Survey System has dictated the placement of nearly all local thoroughfares from 234th St down to 242nd St.
