2021 Map of White River NE

About this map

The White River winds through the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, defining the physical boundary between Jones and Mellette Counties. This rural topography is characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of Kaiser Creek, which flows northward toward the main river valley. The map documents a sparsely settled region of the Great Plains where infrastructure is limited to a handful of primary routes, such as Yellow Eagle Road and Ironwing Road. The survey highlights the vast sections and townships that organize this portion of the Rosebud Indian Reservation area, showing how legal land divisions interact with the natural breaks and ravines of the river's watershed.
