2021 Map of Mahto NW

About this map

Hope Lutheran Cem sits at the southern edge of this landscape, serving as a quiet landmark in a region defined by the winding paths of several watercourses. These prairie drainages, including Fireheart Cr in the north and the central Joe Bush Cr, carve into the undulating terrain typical of the border between North Dakota and South Dakota. The map captures a largely open environment where the primary human imprints are the section lines of the Public Land Survey System and a network of rural roads like Co Rd 5 and 271st Ave. This area, situated near the boundary of Sioux and Corson counties, reflects a late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century ranching and agricultural character, where Blackfoot Cr meanders through the drainages of the Missouri River plateau. The presence of State Hwy 1806 in the northeastern corner connects this sparsely populated landscape to the broader regional transit corridors.
