2012 Map of Ree Heights NW

About this map

Lake Louise anchors the southeast corner of this Hand County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and intermittent watercourses. The drainage of Lost Cr meanders diagonally across the northern and central sections, providing a natural break in the geometric precision of the township's layout. This area, surveyed in 2012, remains deeply agricultural, with wide-ranging avenues such as 350th Ave and 353rd Ave connecting isolated farmsteads across the plains. Near the southern boundary, the headwaters of Wolf Cr begin to take shape, illustrating the subtle hydrology of the region before it moves toward larger drainage basins. The map captures a moment of modern continuity in South Dakota's rural infrastructure, where the legacy of the original homestead grid persists through named corridors like 190th St.
