2021 Map of Pukwana NE

About this map

Vega Cem serves as a quiet historical anchor in this sparsely populated stretch of the Great Plains, located just south of the border dividing Buffalo Co and Brule Co. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Crow Cr in the north and Smith Cr in the south, which cut through the undulating prairie. This 2021 survey reveals a grid of rural infrastructure, where Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia Rd 2 intersect with local section-line roads such as 355 Ave and 237th St. The mapping of these townships, including t106n r69w, illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of central South Dakota, where large-scale ranching and agriculture are organized around these vital watercourses and the simple, functional road network that connects isolated farmsteads.
