2015 Map of Murdo SE

About this map

The White River carves a sharp, winding boundary across the southern edge of this landscape, marking the transition between Jones Co and Mellette Co. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely settled area of South Dakota dominated by a network of ephemeral watercourses and section-line roads. The drainage pattern is defined by several prominent creeks, including Spring Creek and Johnny Creek in the west, while the extensive Bull Creek system branches across the eastern half of the map. The terrain is characterized by dissected breaks leading down to the river valley, with a grid of rural infrastructure such as 244th St and 281st Ave providing access to the expansive agricultural and grazing lands above the river bluffs.
