2012 Map of Thomas Lake

About this map

Thomas Lake and the winding course of Medicine Knoll Cr dominate this prairie landscape in Hyde County. This 2012 survey documents a region defined by its water resources and sparse, grid-based infrastructure, where section roads like 180th St and 331st Ave partition the open land. The presence of Spring Lake Cem near the shores of Spring Lake provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking families in this part of South Dakota. In the northwest corner, the inclusion of Ralph Myers Airport and Gary Myers Airport suggests a reliance on small-scale aviation for local transport and agricultural management. The map effectively captures the relationship between these private landmarks and the natural drainage systems of Medicine Cr during the early 21st century.
