About this map

S Fork Snake Cr meanders across this rural section of Spink County, defining the primary drainage pattern for a landscape dominated by agriculture and ephemeral wetlands. The territory is organized by a strict rectilinear grid of section roads, including 157th St and 164 St, which facilitate transport through the prairie.

Small depressions and prairie potholes are scattered throughout the northern and central sections, reflecting the glaciated history of the Dakotas. Aside from the winding course of the S Fork Snake Cr, the map is notable for its sparse development, showing only the arterial network of avenues such as 375th Ave and 378th Ave that connect the isolated farmsteads typical of the Great Plains in the early 21st century.
