2015 Map of Van Metre

About this map

Van Metre sits at the southern edge of this West River landscape, serving as a focal point where the local road network converges near the winding path of the Bad River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Plum Cr to the north and White Clay Cr to the east, illustrating the hydraulic character of the Pierre Hills region. The map highlights the intersection of several significant local thoroughfares such as Van Metre Rd and Bull Head Rd, which traverse the county line between Stanley and Jones Counties. This cartographic record documents the persistence of small rural settlements and the established Public Land Survey System boundaries that have organized this section of South Dakota for generations.
