2012 Map of Staum Dam

About this map

Shue Cr and Pearl Cr carve paths through the Beadle County prairie, defining the rural character of this northern Great Plains landscape. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line grid of roads, such as 191st St and 411th Ave, which connect the isolated farmsteads and agricultural operations of the region. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Petrodie Cem in the northeast and Saint Williams Cem further south. The namesake Staum Dam serves as a notable hydrologic feature along the creek system, reflecting the vital importance of water management in this open terrain. This survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure, from the path of Co Hwy 31 to the smaller drainages of Middle Pearl Cr.
