2021 Map of Post Ranch

About this map

Post Ranch serves as a central landmark in this Haakon County landscape, situated where the high plains are carved by the intricate drainage systems of the Cheyenne River watershed. The terrain is defined by the branching reaches of Ash Cr, including the Middle Fork Ash Cr and S Fork Ash Cr, which create a network of draws and ridges across the township divisions. This 2021 topographic perspective captures the modern rural infrastructure of South Dakota, where a grid of section-line roads like 214th St and named arteries such as Dowling Church Rd provide access to remote ranching outposts. The map documents the persistent agricultural footprint in this portion of the state, tracing the relationship between water sources like Bridger Cr and the local transportation network of Hilland Rd and Grindstone Rd.
