2012 Map of Long Valley

About this map

Long Valley sits at the intersection of a vast drainage network where numerous creeks carve through the plains of south-central South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Buzzard Cr, Pass Cr, and the smaller Settin Up Cr to the north. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and agricultural region, segmented by the Bennett Jackson Co Line and a grid of rural routes like Co Hwy Ch 16. The presence of the Hawking Cem near the banks of Pass Cr provides a focal point for genealogical interest in this quiet corner of the state. The intricate hydrography, including Waterhole Cr and Lost Turkey Cr, suggests a terrain shaped by seasonal water flow and long-established land divisions in the high plains.
