2017 Map of Owanka

About this map

Owanka and Wicksville anchor this Pennington County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by significant drainage systems and seasonal waterways. The terrain is marked by distinct features such as Hawk Canyon in the north and the expansive Pats Draw near the center of the sheet. Boxelder Cr meanders across the southern portion of the survey, joined by Patterson Cr as it flows through the western sections. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of the Owanka Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research. A network of section-line roads, including Owanka Rd and 227th St, connects the isolated settlements, illustrating the traditional grid-based development of this South Dakota region.
