About this map

The Murdo Municipal Airport serves as a modern landmark in this prairie landscape of central South Dakota, situated just southwest of the town of Murdo. The terrain is defined by the intricate branching of local waterways, including Johnny Cr and the multiple tributaries of Hay Cr. These drainages create a series of subtle ridges and valleys typical of the High Plains, where ranching and local travel depend on a network of section-line roads and former thoroughfares like Old US Hwy 83.

Tracing south through the quadrangle, the land descends toward the drainage basins of Horse Cr and Ash Cr. Local corridors such as 273 Rd Ave and Co Rd S6 link the scattered homesteads and pastures. This 2021 survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how contemporary transportation routes and air facilities overlay the traditional township and range divisions of t2s r28e and t3s r29e.
