About this map

Long Valley anchors this western South Dakota landscape where the high plains of Jackson County meet the northern border of Bennett County. The settlement is positioned along the northwestern edge of the sheet, served by the Community Cem nearby. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainage creeks, including Pass Cr, Buzzard Cr, and Settin Up Cr, which carve through the undulating topography typical of the region's ranching country.

Evidence of early rural organization is visible in the section lines of several townships, including t40n r35w and t41n r34w. To the east, the Hawking Cem sits near the winding path of Lost Turkey Cr, while Waterhole Cr and Bull Cr drain the eastern sections. A network of county roads like Co RD CH 16 and Co RD 15 connects these remote landmarks, tracing the established paths of local travel across the open prairie.
