2021 Map of Lucerne

About this map

The Lucerne settlement area in Haakon County is defined by a sparse, undulating plains landscape where water management and transportation routes dictate the local geography. Several significant drainages, including Buzzard Cr, Whitcher Holes Cr, and Medicine Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this semi-arid region. The land is organized into a rigid section grid, with rural travel facilitated by local connectors such as Airport Rd, 11mile Rd, and 7 Mile Rd. This survey provides a precise modern record of the township and range boundaries for T3N R21E and T2N R22E, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in South Dakota. The proximity of Wilburn Cr in the southwest corner further emphasizes the importance of these seasonal waterways to the local ranching and agricultural economy.
