2012 Map of Murdo

About this map

Murdo serves as a vital South Dakota hub where Interstate 90 meets U.S. Route 83, anchoring a landscape defined by the intersection of prairie transportation and drainage basins. The town's grid is clearly delineated by streets such as Main St, Railroad St, and 6th St, reflecting its historical reliance on the rail corridor that parallels the modern highway. Surrounding the town site, the terrain is shaped by several watercourses including White Clay Cr and Johnny Cr, while the distinct White Clay Butte provides a prominent natural landmark to the northeast. To the south, the Murdo Cem and the Murdo Golf Course mark the edges of the community's local development. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of this Jones County seat, showing the enduring spatial relationship between the town center and the expansive drainage systems of Bull Cr and the E Fork Hay Cr.
