2012 Map of Wanblee NE

About this map

The White River meanders across the northern reaches of this Jackson County landscape, defining the northern boundary of the Cottonwood Creek Basin. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of South Dakota where the drainage of Cottonwood Cr carves through the terrain, leading toward the prominent elevation of Kodak Point. The map reflects a modern rural infrastructure, dominated by a network of sectional roads such as CS 80 and CS 75 that crisscross the plains and breaks south of the river. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the open, ranching-oriented character of the area during the early 21st century, where land use is primarily dictated by the natural waterways and the rugged breaks of the river basin.
