2017 Map of Wewela

About this map

The Keya Paha River winds through this section of Tripp County, shaping the local topography near the small settlement of Wewela. This southern South Dakota landscape is defined by its transition from prairie uplands to the river valley, most notably at Turtle Butte. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Congregational Cem and Hope Lutheran Cem, which reflect the community's early social and religious foundations. A strictly gridded road network, including Musilek Ave and several numeric routes like 303rd St, overlays the natural drainage of Timber Cr and Rahn Lake. The map demonstrates the persistence of rural township structures like t96n r76w and t95n r75w in an area primarily dedicated to agriculture and grazing.
