About this map

The border of Buffalo and Brule Counties defines the center of this rural landscape in central South Dakota. This region is characterized by the winding paths of Crow Creek in the north and Smith Creek in the south, which drain a series of subtle drainages across the prairie. The map provides precise locations for family-history researchers, most notably the Vega Cem situated along 239 Street. A grid of section roads like 355th Avenue and 359th Avenue divides the land, revealing a pattern of agricultural development and land use as it existed in the mid-2010s. The presence of BIA Road 2 in the west indicates the transition into tribal jurisdictional areas, while local routes like Larsen Lane provide access to the more remote interior sections of the township.
