2015 Map of Moenville

About this map

Moenville serves as the primary landmark in this rural South Dakota landscape, situated within a topography defined by complex drainage networks. The area is dominated by the seasonal paths of E Fork Plum Cr, Crooked Cr, and the notably named Hermaphrodite Cr. These waterways carve through the terrain, leading toward larger features like Stony Butte Draw in the east. The map illustrates a high-plains environment where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the placement of roads like Manilla Rd and 203rd St. This grid-based development pattern highlights how early 20th-century land distribution continues to shape modern access and settlement in Haakon County. Collectors and researchers can trace the relationship between these section-line routes and the natural depressions of Deer Cr and Deep Cr as they converge across the landscape.
