2012 Map of Littleburg

About this map

Littleburg serves as the central hub for this rural stretch of South Dakota, situated at the junction of Littleburg Rd and Hidden Timber Rd. The landscape is defined by the wandering drainage systems of the High Plains, with the northern reaches marked by the dendritic tributaries of Eagle Cr and the southern portion dominated by the winding course of Sand Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-based road network characteristic of Todd County, where infrastructure is designed to bridge vast distances between homesteads and ranching operations. The mapping of these ephemeral watercourses provides a detailed look at the local hydrology that has historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes in the Antelope Segment.
