2017 Map of Long Valley NW

About this map

Corn Cr and Waterhole Cr drain the high plains of the South Dakota interior in this 2017 study of the rural landscape. The map captures a transition point between Jackson Co and Bennett Co, illustrating a terrain defined by subtle drainages like Lost Turkey Cr and Fish Cr rather than dense settlements. The road network is sparse, primarily consisting of local connectors such as Longvalley Rd and Co Rd Ch 16, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These routes provide essential access to the vast ranching and grazing tracts of the northern Great Plains, where the topography is shaped by intermittent watercourses like Bull Cr and Dry Cr.
