2017 Map of Ree Heights NW

About this map

Lake Louise anchors the southeastern corner of this central South Dakota landscape, providing a rare permanent water feature in a region defined by its seasonal drainages and prairie potholes. The land is etched by the meandering paths of Lost Cr and Wolf Cr, which wind through the township and range divisions of Hand County. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by local routes like 350th Ave and 183rd St. The area's character is purely agricultural and rural, with the vast majority of the terrain dedicated to open fields and wetlands. Larger regional connectors like Co Rd 3 and Co Rd 17 facilitate movement across this sparsely populated section of the Great Plains, where the drainage patterns of the creeks dictate the subtle contours of the local topography.
