2012 Map of Long Valley NW

About this map

Waterhole Cr and Corn Cr dominate this rural landscape in the southwestern corner of South Dakota, where the topography is defined by a dendritic network of drainages. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region near the turn of the 21st century, structured by a grid of section line roads such as CS 66 and Co Hwy Ch 16. The seasonal nature of the western plains is evident in the naming of several intermittent waterways, including Dry Cr and Lost Turkey Cr, which carve shallow valleys through the terrain. Further south, Bull Cr and Fish Cr to the north provide further evidence of the localized watershed patterns that have long dictated movement and settlement in Bennett County.
