2012 Map of Vayland

About this map

Vayland serves as the primary landmark in this section of Hand County, situated along a diagonal corridor that contrasts with the surrounding rectangular section lines. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of E Pearl Cr, Cain Cr, and Silver Cr, which carve through the plains and eventually lead toward the distinctive depression of Majors Gulch. This 2012 survey illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid, with numbered routes like 200th St and 367th Ave segmenting the territory into precise blocks. The intersection of these thoroughfares and the orientation of Angel Dr reflect the long-established township-and-range surveying system, providing a clear view of the rural South Dakota infrastructure in the early 21st century.
