About this map

Quinn serves as the primary settlement on this western South Dakota landscape, situated along the line of the Chicago and North Western railroad. The topography is defined by prominent high points like Quinn Butte and Street Hill, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Cottonwood Creek and Whitewater Creek. Small-scale industrial activity is evident at the Quarries north of town, while the local civic infrastructure is represented by the Cottonwood Sch and Mt Hope Cem. The presence of the Tennyson Dam creating a small reservoir near the railroad line suggests the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid region. This 1961 field-checked survey also captures the junction of three counties — Pennington, Haakon, and Jackson — underscoring the area's role as a geographic crossroads for the surrounding ranching and rail-dependent communities.
