2017 Map of Parker NE

About this map

Parker serves as the primary focal point in this portion of the northern Great Plains, situated within the agricultural grid of Turner County. The landscape is defined by the high, rolling terrain of the Coteau des Prairies, an expansive plateau that shapes the local drainage patterns. To the northeast, the waters of Beaver Cr cut through the sections, a characteristic feature of the regional hydrology. The map illustrates a strictly organized township and range system, where section lines dictate the placement of local roads and property divisions, revealing a rural economy centered on large-scale farming and livestock operations that have long characterized this part of South Dakota.
