2012 Map of Macs Corner NE

About this map

S Fork Medicine Knoll Cr meanders across this rural section of Hand County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by numerous small prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands. The map shows a strictly organized grid of agricultural section lines, including 199th St, 344th Ave, and 205th St, reflecting the systematic land division of the Great Plains. In the southern reaches, the terrain shifts slightly as it approaches the headwaters of Elm Cr near the junction of Lawler Rd and Lingscheit Pl. This 2012 survey captures the area’s enduring reliance on a simple network of local roads and state-maintained routes to connect isolated farmsteads and manage the vast grazing and planting acreage of central South Dakota.
