2021 Map of Tulare NW

About this map

Turtle Creek and Wolf Creek meander through this prairie landscape where the borders of Hand, Spink, and Beadle counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and glacial depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau region. This 2021 survey reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including State Hwy 28, which anchors the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint John's Cem and Buffalo Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive agricultural fields. The map provides a clear look at the hydraulic patterns of the creeks and their various branches, such as Turtle Cr, illustrating how water moves across this high plains environment.
