About this map

The settlement of Quinn sits in the northwest corner of this West River landscape, serving as a gateway to the vast stretches of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland that dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. In this portion of the South Dakota plains, the topography is defined by the drainages of Cottonwood Cr, Whitewater Cr, and Big Foot Cr, which carve through the high prairie. Local landmarks like Quinn Butte and Street Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, providing orientation in a region of sprawling sections and straight-line roads such as Big Foote Rd and 235th St. Genealogists may find interest in the Mount Hope Cem located just north of town. The map illustrates the 21st-century rural character of the area, where large-scale land management and natural watercourses define the layout of the country.
