2021 Map of Wood South

About this map

The town of Wood anchors the northern edge of this landscape, situated just above the Evergreen Cem and Mediator Cem. The topography is defined by the winding course of Butte Cr, which carves through the prairie south toward the border between Mellette County and Todd County. This area of south-central South Dakota transitions from the organized grid of the township into more varied terrain marked by prominent landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte. The network of local roads, such as Hidden Timber Rd and 282nd Ave, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting the scattered homesteads and ranches that characterize this part of the Rosebud region. The map preserves the specific placement of local institutions and geographic features that define the character of the community at the start of the 2020s.
