About this map

Vig Limousin Airport stands as a distinct human marker in this expansive Meade County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains dictate the terrain. The hydrology is dominated by the seasonal paths of Beaver Dam Cr and its tributaries, including Middle Br Beaver Dam Cr and W Br Beaver Dam Cr. These waterways, along with Sulphur Cr and Elm Cr, have carved intricate coulees into the high plains. A grid of section roads and cattle-country routes like Fox Ridge Rd, Pine Creek Rd, and Grapevine Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the townships of t10n r14e and t11n r14e. This survey captures the sparse ranching environment of western South Dakota, defined by its watercourses and long-distance section lines.
