2017 Map of West of Westover

About this map

The White River winds through the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, marking the boundary between Mellette Co and Jones Co. This region, characterized by its complex drainage networks and deep topographic relief, is defined by the systems of Cottonwood Cr and Butch Cr as they cut through the grassland. The terrain is sparsely developed, centered around the Ridgeway Rd corridor in the south. This map captures the vast public land survey system grid, reflecting the section-based organization of the Great Plains. The intricate contour lines reveal the erosion patterns typical of the river breaks, where the high prairie drops away into the valley of the White River.
