About this map

The Pamplin Hills define the upper landscape of this Sioux County quadrangle, where the high ground transitions into the drainages of the south. This 2014 topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a starkly rural landscape within the Porcupine District, characterized by a vast network of section-line roads such as 95th St SW and 33rd Ave SW. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, most notably around Oak Cr which meanders through the lower elevations.

In the southern reaches of the map, the terrain levels out, marked by the steady course of Oak Cr. The grid of early 21st-century rural infrastructure is clearly visible, with thoroughfares like 93rd St SW and 34th Ave SW providing access through the hills. This map captures the precise contemporary layout of the landscape, including its subtle hydrological features and the exact placement of local rural routes.
