2021 Map of Richmond NW

About this map

Willow Creek Cem sits as a quiet landmark within this rural landscape of northern South Dakota, where the prairie topography is defined by the winding course of Willow Cr and the intermittent drainage of Dry Run. The terrain is partitioned by a strict grid of section roads, including Co Hwy 23 and Co Rd 9, which facilitate travel between the scattered farmsteads of the region. This 2021 survey also documents the administrative boundary between McPherson County and Brown County, which runs vertically through the western portion of the map. The distribution of small wetlands and drainage features reflects the natural hydrology of the Great Plains, showing how modern agricultural land use and county infrastructure have integrated with the existing watercourses.
