2021 Map of Thunder Hawk SW

About this map

Deer Cr and Cyclone Cr weave through the open plains of Corson County in this contemporary look at the western South Dakota landscape. The terrain is defined by its section-line road network and drainage systems, where W Br Willow Cr and Willow Cr meet the expansive ranchlands. The map reveals a remote infrastructure dominated by utilitarian access, including the primary north-south Thunder Hawk Rd and Lemon Lake Rd. Notable for researchers and land managers are the various non-standard transit routes such as the 210th (Jeep Trail) Ave and the 110th 4wd Trl, which indicate the practical challenges of traversing this grassland environment. This modern survey reflects the enduring grid-based settlement patterns and the vital importance of seasonal watercourses in a dry, agricultural region.
