2021 Map of Witten

About this map

Witten and the adjacent New Witten anchor this landscape in Tripp County, where the plains are defined by the winding course of Cottonwood Cr and its tributaries. The settlement pattern follows a rigorous grid of section lines, with S Dakota Highway 44 and S Dakota Highway 53 serving as the primary corridors for travel and transport. Local history is centered around the Saint John the Baptist Cem and the small town centers, which are situated near the Witten Dam Reservoir. The geography reveals a ranching and farming community dependent on the drainages of W Cottonwood Cr and E Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the terrain as it rises toward the southern hills. Jordan Junction marks a key navigational point at the southern edge of the survey, reflecting the essential role of road intersections in this sparsely populated region of South Dakota.
