2017 Map of Vivian

About this map

Vivian sits at the heart of this central South Dakota landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement where local roads like Main Ave and C Ave meet. The township is situated south of the sprawling Fort Pierre National Grassland, an expansive prairie environment that dominates the northern half of the region. The drainage patterns of the Great Plains are clearly visible through the winding paths of Medicine Creek and its tributary, the North Fork Medicine Creek, which carve through the terrain. For those researching local heritage, the Vivian Cemetery and the Oller Airport provide specific points of interest. The area's administrative history is also documented along the Jones and Lyman county line, illustrating the intersection of these two rural jurisdictions.
