2021 Map of Redowl

About this map

Redowl serves as a central point in this rural Meade County landscape, where the geography is defined by a dendritic network of creek beds. Waterways including Red Owl Cr, Elm Cr, and Spring Cr carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of ranch roads and section boundaries. The map provides specific detail for local history and genealogy, notably marking the Pleasant View Red Owl Cem located just south of the main settlement. Transportation is anchored by a grid of numbered and named routes such as Red Owl Rd and Indian Creek Rd, which connect remote homesteads across the townships of T9N and T8N. The naming conventions of the water bodies, including White Owl Cr and Indian Cr, reflect the regional identity of this portion of the South Dakota plains.
