2015 Map of Thunder Hawk

About this map

The settlement of Thunder Hawk sits directly at the intersection of the Great Plains and the state boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota. In this high-prairie landscape, the State Line RD serves as the physical divide between Adams and Sioux Counties to the north and Corson County to the south. The topography is defined by the prominent Thunder Hawk Butte, which overlooks a drainage network comprising Turtle Cr, Hay Cr, and E Thunder Hawk Cr. The map reveals a strictly regulated township and range grid system, where section lines are traced by a web of local roads such as 207th Ave and 100th St SW. This 2015 survey illustrates how the geopolitical border bisects the natural geography, with Willow Cr winding through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
