2021 Map of Union Center

About this map

Union Center serves as the primary focal point of this high plains landscape, situated near the intersection of several regional thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system where intermittent streams like W Bull Cr and Hay Creek carve through the prairie. In the southwest, the topography is further shaped by Maddox Draw, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of Meade County. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey details the modern road network, including family-named or descriptive routes such as Chalk Butte Rd and Tifft Rd, which connect the dispersed agricultural holdings. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t8n r11e and t7n r12e, reflecting the enduring township-and-range organization of the South Dakota interior.
