2012 Map of Presho NW

About this map

Medicine Creek and Stony Butte Creek wind through this Lyman County landscape, defining the drainage patterns of the high plains. The map illustrates the transition of regional transportation, capturing the alignment of Old Hwy 16 as it runs parallel to the modern interstate corridor. These local routes, including Co Hwy-25 and 300th Ave, follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the structured agricultural settlement of the South Dakota prairie. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, where gravel section roads and intermittent stream beds are the primary landmarks across the open range.
