1998 Map of Meadow SE

About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates the northeastern corner of this Perkins County landscape, which was updated by the Forest Service in the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Black Horse Butte Creek, which flows eastward toward the grassland. Further south, Darling Creek cuts through the prairie, providing a drainage network for the surrounding rangeland. Several scattered windmills dot the sections, indicating the importance of cattle ranching and groundwater access in this open country. The orientation of the land follows the Fourth Guide Meridian East, with local travel facilitated by the east-west corridor of Athboy Road. The map also captures several local township divisions including Whitney and Clark, reflecting the original cadastral survey framework of the Dakotas.
