About this map

Viewfield serves as the central point of interest in this western South Dakota prairie landscape, situated near the headwaters of Elk Creek. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern where Dry Cr and other small seasonal branches carve through the high plains. A significant jurisdictional boundary is established across the southern portion of the sheet, where Meade Co meets Pennington Co.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Viewfield Cem located south of the main settlement area, providing a primary point for family research. The infrastructure is characterized by a grid of rural section-line roads, including New Underwood Rd and Elk Creek Rd, which connect remote ranching properties. Notable landmarks such as Curlew Lake in the northeastern corner indicate the importance of water management in this arid agricultural region.
