2015 Map of Lodgepole SE

About this map

Grand River National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of this Perkins County landscape, which is defined by the high plains of South Dakota. The drainage systems of the North Fork Grand River and Lodgepole Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns essential to the region's ranching and grassland ecology. The map reveals the stark, grid-like precision of the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries such as t22n r13e and t21n r12e organizing the open range. Local transit is limited to a handful of gravel routes, most notably Castlebutte Rd and 111th St, which provide access through the rolling topography. This survey captures a modern look at a sparsely populated section of the Great Plains where the natural land cover remains the dominant feature.
