2021 Map of Meadville NW

About this map

The state line between Nebraska and South Dakota defines the northern edge of this high plains landscape, where Tripp County meets Keya Paha County. This sparsely settled region is characterized by the drainage of Cottonwood Creek, which winds through the eastern half of the survey area. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Lost Creek Cemetery, a solitary landmark in the western interior. Infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of section-line roads like 426th Ave that navigate the varied terrain of these northern borderlands. The map reflects a modern view of a durable agricultural landscape, maintaining the original Public Land Survey System grids across townships like t35n r23w and t34n r22w.
