2012 Map of McIntosh SW

About this map

Hump Cr meanders through the northern reaches of this rural Corson County landscape, illustrating the remote prairie drainage systems of the Rock Creek District. The terrain is defined by its subtle watercourses, where Little Soldier Cr and Soldier Cr flow through an open expanse largely uninterrupted by dense settlement. The transportation network is sparse, consisting of foundational section-line roads like 236th Ave and 107th St, which provide the primary access to the vast agricultural allotments in this part of South Dakota. This 2012 survey reveals the persistent reliance on original land-office survey lines for modern infrastructure, where the minimal road grid follows the precise cardinal directions established over a century prior. The concentration of small ponds and intermittent stream beds suggests a landscape meticulously mapped for its hydrological importance to local ranching and land management.
