2015 Map of Norris

About this map

Norris serves as the primary settlement on this South Dakota prairie landscape, situated at the intersection of Long Valley Rd and Black Pipe Lp. The map reveals a land defined by its cultural sites and the drainage patterns of the northern plains, particularly where Dry Cr and Black Pipe Cr wind across the terrain. These watercourses are flanked by local markers of history and community, including several small burial grounds. Genealogy researchers will find the locations of Norris Cem, Red Leaf Cem, and Poor Thunder Cem precisely marked. The map also delineates the complex jurisdictional boundaries of the region, where Jackson Co, Mellette Co, Bennett Co, and Todd Co all meet, illustrating how administrative lines overlay the natural flow of Cottonwood Cr and Swimmer Cr.
