2017 Map of New Underwood NW

About this map

The county boundary between Meade Co and Pennington Co bisects this West River landscape, defined by the winding course of Elk Creek. This drainage system, which includes the seasonal waters of Antelope Cr, carves a series of draws and ridges through the high plains north of New Underwood. The township and range lines for t3n r9e, t3n r10e, t2n r9e, and t2n r10e provide the grid for a sparsely settled agricultural region. The network of section-line roads, such as Elk Creek Rd and Brehm Rd, reflects the rectilinear land division common in the Dakotas. A few local corridors like Bend Rd and Pioneer Rd deviate from the cardinal directions to follow the local topography, marking the routes of rural transit across the prairie.
