How to Use This Maverick Junction, South Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Maverick Junction, South Dakota. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of South Dakota or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Maverick Junction.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Maverick Junction emerges from the arid, sun-bleached expanse where the Fall River carves a narrow, persistent path through the limestone-dusted earth. It lies 47.8 miles south of Rapid City, SD (from Rapid City, SD: bearing 190°T), and is situated 4.5 miles east-southeast of Hot Springs. The landscape around Maverick Junction is defined by the stark, open prairie that stretches toward the horizon, punctuated by the rugged silhouette of Battle Mountain rising four miles to the west. To the north, the terrain folds into the shadowed depths of Preacher Canyon, while the nearby Romey provides a quiet sanctuary of native grasses and scrub. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular violet, casting long, lean shadows across the plains and lending the dry air a brittle, expectant quality that seems to hold the silence of the high plains in suspension.

History clings to the dust of Maverick Junction, a crossroads born of the necessity to navigate the rugged contours of the land. The economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the soil and the grazing livestock that move across the vast, unfenced tracts of the region. Four miles away, the waters of Angostura Reservoir offer a rare, cool stillness in an otherwise parched geography, serving as a vital anchor for those who live where the plains meet the more broken, unpredictable terrain. Life moves according to the demands of the seasons, a rhythm dictated by the turning of the wind and the subtle, cyclical changes in the water levels of the river, ensuring that the identity of Maverick Junction stays firmly rooted in the hard, honest character of the interior prairie.

About This Maverick Junction Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Maverick Junction, South Dakota. Coordinates: 43.40874, -103.395888. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Maverick Junction includes the ZIP code (57747), telephone area code (605), county seat of Fall River County (Hot Springs), and school district assignment (Hot Springs School District 23-2).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
