About this map

The settlement of Parade sits at the junction of several rural routes including 249 Ave and Co Rd 17A, serving as a central point in this stretch of Dewey County. This 2021 survey illustrates the contemporary landscape of the Missouri Plateau region, where the terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Goose Cr and Hosapa Cr. These intermittent watercourses have carved intricate patterns into the high plains, influencing the placement of the township lines that divide t13n r25e and surrounding sections.

The map reveals a landscape primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with a network of section line roads like Co Rd 17 and 252 Ave providing access to the vast agricultural and grazing lands. The sparse development reflects the enduring rural character of this part of South Dakota, where the physical geography of creek beds remains the most prominent feature alongside the essential road corridors that connect small prairie communities.
