1983 Map of Meadow NE

About this map

The Grand River meanders across this Perkins County landscape, defining a wide valley within the Grand River National Grassland. This 1980s era survey documents the rural subdivisions of Dewitt, Hudgins, Clark, and Whitney, where the land is marked by isolated features like the Spade terrain landmark and scattered water sources such as Thunder Hawk Creek. The map reflects a sparsely populated region of South Dakota focused on conservation and ranching, as indicated by the prominent Grassland Boundary. Researchers will find a detailed look at the section lines and topography that governed the area's development during the late twentieth century, showing the relationship between the natural waterway and the designated protected grasslands.
