About this map

Jones and Lyman counties meet along a jurisdictional boundary that bisects this prairie landscape, defined by the winding paths of Sedlano Creek and Williams Creek. The terrain is characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of these creeks as they carve through the South Dakota plains, creating a network of small wetlands and depressions. The human footprint is marked by the rigid Public Land Survey System grid, which dictates the placement of rural corridors such as 244th Street and 291st Avenue. Local travel is anchored by County Road 59, which connects the scattered agricultural sections. This map offers a clear view of the rural township structure, showing how the natural topography of the creek beds interacts with the deliberate section lines of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
