2017 Map of Prairie City

About this map

Prairie City and Strool anchor this portion of Perkins County, representing the quiet, persistent settlement patterns of the high plains. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the S Br Thunder Butte Cr, which carves through the terrain between the sections of t18n r10e and t19n r11e. Local history is centered at the Prairie City Cem, situated just south of the main settlement and accessible via Prairie City Rd. The survey illustrates the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, with gravel and dirt routes like 159th Ave and 131st St providing the primary grid for ranching and agricultural access. This map shows a region where the vast geography is marked primarily by small community hubs and the essential watercourses that sustain them.
