About this map

Little Dog Ear Lake anchors the southern reaches of this landscape in Tripp County, where the plains are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and a strict section-line road grid. The drainage patterns of E Cottonwood Cr and W Cottonwood Cr reveal the subtle topographic shifts of the South Dakota prairie, creating a branching system of draws that break up the agricultural blocks. Further east, the terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Hollow Cr and the area simply labeled Hollow. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like 282nd St and 304th Ave following precise township and range boundaries established over a century ago.
