2015 Map of Murray Draw

About this map

Milesville Flat occupies the northwestern reaches of this Haakon County landscape, marking an area of relatively level terrain amidst a complex network of draws and creek beds. The drainage patterns of the West Fork and Murray Draw define the central topography, where seasonal watercourses like W Plum Cr and Shanty Cr carve through the prairie. This 2015 survey reflects a sparsely populated ranching environment, structured by a grid of rural routes including Kings School Rd and Fitch Rd. The inclusion of Tornado Ranch Rd in the southeastern quadrant suggests established agricultural operations that have shaped land use in this part of South Dakota for generations. Researchers can trace the intersection of section lines and natural water features like Long Br, which continue to dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure and local access roads.
