About this map

The rolling grasslands of Jerauld County are defined by the intricate drainage of Smith Cr and the East Fork Smith Creek. This rural landscape is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the map covering portions of Township 108 North, Range 66 West and neighboring jurisdictions. The settlement pattern is sparse, consisting primarily of section-line roads such as 372nd Ave and 225th St, reflecting the persistent agricultural character of the region into the twenty-first century. One of the few enduring community landmarks is Hope Cem, situated in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The topography is marked by a series of draws and depressions that feed into E Fork Smith Cr, illustrating the subtle yet complex hydrology of the South Dakota prairie.
