2017 Map of Wendte NE

About this map

The Mathews Family Cem sits along Aray Pl in this high-plains landscape where Jones and Stanley Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Bad River and its numerous tributaries, including Crow Eagle Cr and the various branches of War Cr. While the region is largely open range, the road network follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, with routes like 224th St, Co Rd N 12, and Co Rd N 13 providing access to the remote homesteads and ranch lands. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural character of central South Dakota, where named landmarks like Soldier Rd and Warcreek Rd offer a sense of the local history and the intersection of traditional land use with modern geographic documentation.
