About this map

The rolling plains of Hand County are defined here by a series of intermittent prairie waterways, including Little Turtle Cr and Turtle Cr in the north and Pearl Cr and Ree Cr to the south. These drainage systems carve subtle paths through the township sections, reflecting the essential relationship between water and the South Dakota agricultural landscape. The isolated Beulah Cem sits along Co Rd 13, serving as a quiet focal point for local genealogy and a reminder of the early farming families who settled this region. The map’s strict section-line road network, comprised of routes like 193rd St and 367th Ave, underscores the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the spatial organization of the Great Plains, where long stretches of gravel roads connect far-flung homesteads across the open horizon.
