2015 Map of New Underwood NW

About this map

Elk Creek meanders through the central landscape of this West River South Dakota survey, marking the boundary between townships in Pennington and Meade counties. The terrain is characterized by the winding drainage of Antelope Cr and the network of section-line roads that define the rural character of the region. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape defined by ranching and agriculture, with major routes like Elk Creek Rd and Bend Rd providing access across the high plains. The map records the precise intersection of administrative boundaries including t3n r10e and t2n r9e, reflecting the structured Public Land Survey System that organized the settlement of the Dakota Territory.
