2021 Map of Okaton

About this map

The northern plains of Jones County are characterized by the seasonal drainage of Dry Cr, which carves a subtle network of draws through the landscape south of the Bad River basin. This 2021 survey reveals a vast section of rural South Dakota organized strictly by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t1n r26e and t1s r27e dictating the placement of the sparse road network. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Interstate 90 corridor, which runs parallel to the older local thoroughfare of Railway St. This alignment highlights the persistent importance of this east-west transit corridor in the region's development, where modern high-speed travel follows the same geographic logic as the earlier rail and local road systems like 239th St.
