2012 Map of Norris

About this map

Norris serves as the primary settlement on this South Dakota landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding Black Pipe Cr which meanders across the eastern half of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented across the plains, including Norris Cem, Poor Thunder Cem, and Red Leaf Cem. These landmarks, along with the Red Leaf Campground near Cottonwood Cr, reflect the rural community's geographic focal points. The map also illustrates the drainage patterns of Dry Cr and Swimmer Cr, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the northern Great Plains in the early 21st century.
