2020 Map of Shields

About this map

The Cannonball River carves a winding path through this corner of the Great Plains, defining the topography south of the small settlement of Shields. The town sits near the northeastern corner of the map, established along a grid of section-line roads such as 82nd St SW and 36th Ave SW. This 2020 edition provides a clear record of the local landscape where the border of Grant Co Sioux Co follows the river's meander in the southwest. For those researching family ties to this prairie community, the Shields Cem remains a primary landmark just south of the townsite. The surrounding land is marked by the systematic layout of townships t132n r84w and t131n r84w, showing a sparse but persistent network of rural infrastructure.
