2012 Map of White Owl

About this map

White Owl serves as the central settlement on this Meade County landscape, where the prairie meets an intricate network of drainage systems. The town is situated near the White Owl Cem and White Owl Lake, which provides a distinct landmark in an area otherwise defined by the winding paths of White Owl Cr. The mapping of local county roads and section lines, such as Co Hwy MC-14B and Co Hwy MC-24, reflects the rural agricultural patterns of the region. A series of watercourses, including E Badlands Cr, W Badlands Cr, and Middle Badlands Cr, carve through the terrain to the south, while Pine Cr and W Tepee Cr draw the eye toward the east. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the South Dakota plains, centered on a small community and its surrounding ranchlands.
