2021 Map of Miller NW

About this map

Wolf Creek and its seasonal tributaries carve a subtle network across this section of Hand County, where the high plains of South Dakota meet the disciplined geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Schaefer Cr and Lost Cr, which drain through a mosaic of prairie wetlands and depressions. This map preserves the 2021 arrangement of the rural section-line road network, anchored by primary corridors like Co Rd 17 and Co Rd 11. The sparse human imprint is limited to isolated farmsteads connected by long stretches of gravel roads like 360th Ave and 183rd St. For researchers, this document offers a precise record of late-modern rural land divisions and the hydrological state of the Missouri Plateau's eastern fringe.
