2012 Map of Okaton NE

About this map

Horse Cr winds through this open prairie landscape in Jones County, defining the primary natural drainage in a region dominated by wide agricultural sections. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, such as Van Metre Rd, that facilitate transport across this part of the Great Plains. These routes reflect the late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century infrastructure of South Dakota, where county roads like Co Rd-N9 and Co Rd-S2A provide essential connections between remote farmsteads and larger regional arteries. The terrain is characterized by gentle elevation changes and numerous small depressions and catchment areas, typical of the high plains topography found north of the White River.
