2017 Map of Roscoe NW

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie wetlands define this corner of Edmunds County, where the township lines of t123n r71w and t122n r72w meet. The landscape is structured by a rigid section-line road grid, including long stretches of 134th St and 336th Ave that cross the open terrain. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent agricultural geometry of the northern Great Plains, with large parcels of land divided by secondary routes such as Glover Rd and Valley Rd. Small, scattered water bodies are prevalent throughout the region, reflecting the local hydrology and drainage patterns of the South Dakota prairie. For those studying the evolution of rural infrastructure, the map documents the network of county roads like Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 4a that provide essential connectivity between the isolated farmsteads and larger regional centers.
