2012 Map of White SE

About this map

Medary Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Brookings County landscape, creating a meandering riparian corridor that breaks the strict geometric grid of the township's road system. Located in Alton Township, this area is characterized by the structured organization of South Dakota's agricultural heartland, where section lines are defined by long-reaching corridors like 214th St and 485th Ave. The settlement of Hillside Colony stands as a distinct communal landmark east of the creek's center, representing a localized hub within the otherwise dispersed rural setting. In the northern section of the map, the headwaters of Deer Creek carve similar, albeit smaller, paths across the plains. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's natural drainage patterns and the persistent surveyed boundaries of its farming communities.
