2015 Map of Maurine

About this map

Maurine serves as the central focal point for this section of the western South Dakota plains, situated just south of the border separating Perkins and Meade counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage networks, where Deep Creek, Lilly Creek, and Beaver Creek carve through the high prairie. In the southeastern corner, the rising elevations of Fox Ridge overlook the surrounding draws, while the small waters of Maurine Lake sit nestled near the settlement. Transportation in this expansive region relies on established routes like Bixby Road and Old Maurine Road, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching tracts across the township grids of t12n r13e and t13n r12e. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where the natural topography of ridges and creek beds remains the primary influence on settlement patterns.
