2017 Map of Vivian SW

About this map

Williams Cr and Pitan Cr cut through the high plains of Jones County in this 2017 survey, revealing the section-line geometry that defines the rural landscape. This South Dakota quadrangle is a study in Western agricultural organization, where arterial routes like Co Rd 58 and Co Rd 510 provide the primary framework for local travel. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages, including the headwaters of Bull Cr in the southwest, showing the subtle natural contours that dictate the placement of ranch roads and township boundaries like t2s r30e and t3s r31e. For those tracing the evolution of Great Plains land use, the map documents the persistent layout of county infrastructure such as 248th St and 249th St against the open prairie.
