2015 Map of Miscol

About this map

The Miscol settlement anchors this stretch of the Great Plains in Corson County, where the high prairie begins to break toward the drainage basins of the north. The winding course of the Grand River dominates the northern terrain, creating a complex series of bluffs and river bends that contrast with the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System. Further south, the intermittent flow of Plum Cr cuts through the landscape, showing the drainage patterns essential to ranching in this part of South Dakota.
