2021 Map of Short Creek

About this map

Lewis Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of Lyman County, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages including Short Cr and De Smet Cr. This 2021 landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns, with Crow Cr and the N Fork American Crow Cr winding through the western sections. The map records essential local landmarks such as Saint Albans Church Cem, providing critical geographic data for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of rural South Dakota. The survey also details the modern transportation grid, noting routes like Bia RD 5 and several rural avenues such as 337 Ave and 340th Ave, which define the section lines and connect the sparse agricultural holdings of the Missouri River plateau.
