About this map

Shadehill Reservoir defines the northwestern corner of this Perkins County landscape, where the waters reach into the drainages of the high plains. The terrain is structured by a grid of rural routes and historical thoroughfares, most notably Old US Hwy 73, which runs north-to-south through the center of the quadrangle. This area of South Dakota exhibits a transition from water-managed reservoir shores to the open grazing lands typical of the region. Local travel is facilitated by named arteries such as S Cabin Rd and Bald Butte Rd, reflecting the ranching and agricultural foundations of the community. Other local landmarks like Hudgins Rd and Pasture 8 Rd provide a clear view of how land was partitioned and accessed in the early 21st century.
