About this map

The northern Great Plains landscape of Corson County is defined by its rigorous Public Land Survey System grid, which structures the movement across this rural expanse. A sparse network of gravel roads and section lines provides access to the undulating terrain, with Co Rd 13-1 serving as a primary corridor through the northern sections. The map reveals the township and range divisions, specifically t22n r25e, t22n r26e, t21n r25e, and t21n r26e, which organize the homesteading history and current land management in this part of South Dakota. Local travel is facilitated by a series of numbered routes including 257th Ave and 110th St, which trace the high ground and drainages typical of the region's topography. This document serves as a detailed guide to the road placements and surveyed boundaries as they existed in the early 21st century.
