2021 Map of Wendte

About this map

Bad River meanders across this rural expanse of central South Dakota, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by deep draws and named creek systems. The small settlement of Wendte is situated in the northeastern portion of the map along the river valley, where local travel is facilitated by rural routes like Bad River Rd and Bunkhouse Rd. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of several tributaries, including Plum Cr, White Clay Cr, and the extensive Herd Camp Cr, which flows northward across the boundary between Stanley and Jones counties. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including portions of Township 3 North, Range 28 East and adjacent ranges, showing the enduring grid of the American West.
