2017 Map of Long Valley

About this map

Long Valley sits at a crossroads of section roads and drainage systems in the western plains of South Dakota. This high-country landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Buzzard Cr and Settin Up Cr, which carve shallow draws across the prairie. The map records the local infrastructure of the rural community, most notably the Long Valley Community Cem and the Hawking Cem near the banks of Lost Turkey Cr. The land is neatly partitioned by the county line separating Jackson Co and Bennett Co. The drainage pattern suggests a subtle but significant topography where ephemeral streams like Pass Cr and Bull Cr dictate the placement of ranch access roads such as Co Rd CH 16 and CS 63.
