2017 Map of Stamford SW

About this map

The White River winds through the heart of this South Dakota landscape, defining a complex system of drainage and relief along the Jackson Co Mellette Co boundary. The topography is shaped by numerous tributaries, including Brave Bull Cr and Black Pipe Cr to the north and west, while Larvie Cr and Porcupine Cr cut through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reflects the modern infrastructure of the region, where Hwy 16 serves as the primary corridor of travel, crossing the northern plains above the river's deep meanders. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions, showing the intricate relationship between the natural waterways and the geometric legal boundaries of the Great Plains.
