2015 Map of Vivian NW

About this map

The northern edge of Ft. Pierre National Grassland dominates the upper boundary of this Jones County landscape, transitioning into a wide expanse of prairie topography. The hydrology is defined by the winding course of Medicine Cr and its northern tributary, N Fork Medicine Cr, which carve shallow drainage patterns through the terrain. This 2015 survey reflects the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where a precise grid of section lines and gravel roads like 282nd Ave and 243rd St organize the vast ranching and agricultural tracts. The corridor is further delineated by major thoroughfares such as CR-16 and CR-510, which serve as the primary conduits through the sparse high plains settlement pattern south of the national grassland.
