2015 Map of Rezac Lake NW

About this map

Medicine Cr winds through the southwestern corner of this prairie landscape, where the boundary between Faulk Co and Hyde Co is clearly defined along the southern section lines. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small depressions and seasonal water bodies typical of the glaciated plains, interrupted only by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. A network of rural section-line roads, including 172nd St and 335th Ave, structures the movement across this sparsely populated agricultural region. This survey captures the rural infrastructure as it stood in the mid-2010s, illustrating the persistent importance of township and range lines like t117n r71w in organizing the South Dakota interior.
