2015 Map of Midland NW

About this map

Ottumwa School Rd anchors the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, providing a trace of local education history in an area defined by wide-reaching drainage networks and township divisions. The terrain is characterized by the intricate branching of several watercourses, including Little Prairie Dog Cr, Burnt Cr, and Mitchell Cr, which cut through the high plains toward the Lone Tree Cr basin in the southeast. Roads often follow these natural contours or strict section lines, with Saddle Butte Rd and Burnt Creek Rd serving as primary connectors across the rural expanse. The map highlights the intersection of Haakon and Stanley counties, where the surveyor's grid remains the dominant organizing principle for the ranches and homesteads that rely on these intermittent seasonal creeks.
