About this map

Sulphur Cr and its many tributaries carve through this portion of Meade County, creating a landscape of intricate drainage patterns and distinct geologic formations like the Poverty Pinnacles. This rural South Dakota interior is characterized by expansive ranching operations, centered on localized infrastructure such as the Vig Ranch Airfield and a network of secondary roads including Vig Pl and Quartize Pl.

The map reveals the importance of water management and local transit in this arid region, where Triple Creek Rd and Co Hwy Mc-39 provide the primary connections across the undulating terrain. Waterways like Horse Cr, Pine Cr, and Rock Cr dictate the layout of the land, while the boundary lines of t10n r13e and surrounding townships establish the legal framework for the area's grazing and agricultural holdings.
