2024 Map of New England SW

About this map

The Cannonball River carves a winding, serpentine path through this landscape along the border of Slope and Hettinger counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographic relief, where numerous small tributaries and coulees feed into the main river channel from the surrounding uplands. This 2024 survey documents a predominantly agricultural and open prairie environment, organized by a rigid grid of rural roads such as 126th Ave SW and 55th St SW. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the German Lutheran Cem in the southeastern corner serves as a significant marker of the region's cultural heritage and early settlement patterns. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and the Public Land Survey System, specifically within Townships 135 and 136 North.
