2015 Map of Prairie City

About this map

Prairie City and Strool anchor this Perkins County landscape, sitting as central points of settlement within the northwestern South Dakota plains. The area is defined by the drainage of S Br Thunder Butte Cr, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. The land is organized by a precise grid of rural roads, including Prairie City Rd and 159th Ave, reflecting the systematic township and range divisions of t18n r11e and surrounding sections. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where the vast open spaces are punctuated by these small, scattered community centers and a network of gravel and section-line roads that have served local ranching and farming interests for generations.
