About this map

Cain Cr meanders across this rural Beadle County landscape, defining the local drainage pattern amidst a strictly regulated grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the early twenty-first century, this territory remains primarily agricultural, organized by the Public Land Survey System as shown by the townships of t112n r64w, t112n r65w, t111n r64w, and t111n r65w. The infrastructure is characterized by a precise network of north-south avenues and east-west streets, such as 382nd Ave and 200th St, which facilitate access to the expansive farmsteads of the James River Valley region. This topographic study reveals a prairie environment where the subtle elevation changes near the creek banks provide the only relief in an otherwise flat, productive expanse of the Great Plains.
