2012 Map of Pukwana SE

About this map

Silver Lake and Mud Lake provide the primary geographic relief in this high plains landscape of Brule County. This 2012 survey illustrates the rigid precision of the township and range system, where the terrain is dominated by a consistent grid of section lines including 243rd St and 250th St. These gravel and dirt roads, such as 354th Ave and 358th Ave, delineate the agricultural allotments typical of the South Dakota prairie. The map captures a quiet, rural sector of Smith Township where the land use is almost entirely dictated by these intersecting corridors, with few permanent structures or named landmarks beyond the natural depressions of the lake beds and the recurring rhythm of the county road network.
