2021 Map of White Owl NW

About this map

Red Owl Creek and Elm Cr flow through this section of Meade County, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and high plains ranching infrastructure. The map documents a sparsely populated region of South Dakota where the Public Land Survey System grid remains the primary organizing force, evidenced by the prominent township and range boundaries of t9n r14e and t8n r14e. Long stretches of county roads and local tracks, such as Co Hwy Mc-26 and Spring Creek Rd, connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The network of waterways including Spring Cr and Red Owl Cr highlights the vital importance of drainage patterns in this semi-arid environment, providing essential context for land use and historical property boundaries in the early twenty-first century.
