Download the high-resolution Clark County South Dakota Map JPG files from the ZIP provided on this page. The map set places Clark on the US 212 corridor, Raymond to the west, Willow Lake well to the south, Garden City and Naples on the eastern side, and Bradley in the north. It also shows the county’s named lakes and creeks and the 421 to 590 meter elevation range, so visitors can identify roads, settlements, water features, and terrain before choosing the files they need.
Start with Clark and US 212 for road orientation, then use Willow Lake to connect the settlement and water views. Raymond provides a useful western reference near the lower terrain and creek network, while the elevation view shows why the central and eastern parts of the county rise above much of the west. The download package contains the same county, city, terrain-and-water, and elevation views shown below as larger JPG files for printing or close inspection.

US 212 makes Clark and Raymond easy to place
The general county image puts Clark near the middle of the county with US 212 running through the same zone. Raymond lies west along that broad east-west route, so the two towns establish a simple road reference before the smaller local roads are considered. North of Clark, route markers 27 and 4 appear on the way toward Crocker and Bradley, helping define the northern half of the county.
East of Clark, Garden City is in the east-central area and Naples is farther south. Willow Lake sits well down in the southern part of the county, while Vienna is visible just outside the southeastern edge. The western half includes several numbered local roads around Raymond. The map is useful for geographic orientation, but current closures, driving time, and road conditions should be checked with an up-to-date transportation source.
Smaller labels such as Hillcrest Colony, Silver Lake Colony, Fordham Colony, Mayfield Colony, and Collins Colony fill some of the wide rural spaces between the larger places. The surrounding county names—Day, Codington, Hamlin, Kingsbury, Beadle, and Spink—also make the regional setting easier to understand. Exact legal boundaries should still be checked against authoritative boundary data.
Willow Lake connects the settlement pattern with the water landscape
The city-index view includes Clark, Willow Lake, Naples, Raymond, Garden City, and Bradley. Their distribution matters more than the rank order: Clark is central, Raymond is west, Bradley is north, Garden City and Naples are east, and Willow Lake is well to the south. That spread shows that Clark County is not organized around one compact cluster of towns.
The printed CITY INDEX includes Clark 1,359 and Willow Lake 433, along with values for the other communities. This article treats those figures only as numbers printed on the supplied image, not as current population estimates. The image is also not a distance diagram, so the ranking should not be interpreted as mileage from Clark.
Willow Lake becomes especially useful when the water map is opened because the same name appears there in the southern part of the county. That repeat appearance makes it easy to move from settlement geography to water geography without losing orientation.
Scattered lakes in the east and south contrast with long western creeks
Swan Lake and Heggs Lake appear in the northeast. Reid Lake and Baileys Lake are farther southwest, while Mud Lake and Antelope Lake occupy the middle-southern interior. Willow Lake is labeled in the southeast, and Cherry Lake sits close to the southern edge. The water bodies are therefore spread across several parts of the county instead of being concentrated around one dominant lake.
The western side has a different water pattern. Fordham Creek is labeled in the northwest-western area and Foster Creek crosses the middle-west. State Creek, Plum Creek, and Fredison Creek extend through the southern section. Those streams are easier to trace on the water view than on the road map, where road lines and place labels take visual priority.
Blythe Slough is labeled outside the eastern boundary, showing that wetland and water features continue beyond the county line. This is a location reference rather than a live hydrologic product. Current water levels, flood risk, water quality, fishing conditions, and wetland status should be checked with current USGS or local information.
The elevation surface rises from western low ground into central and eastern uplands
The elevation image reports an actual range of 421 to 590 meters and a mean of 524 meters. Dark green covers much of the western edge, marking the broad lower terrain. Moving toward Clark and then farther east, the colors shift through lighter green and yellow into brown. Higher upland patches become more common in the northeast and east-central parts of the county.
The county does not rise in one perfectly smooth slope. A higher belt is visible near the center, while the eastern half includes both elevated ridges and lower pockets. Around Willow Lake, multiple elevation bands meet, so the southern area is also more varied than a single average elevation suggests.
The 421–590 meter range is appropriate for county-scale comparison, not parcel or engineering measurement. A location-specific elevation should be checked with detailed USGS 3DEP data or a professional survey.
Use Clark and Willow Lake as cross-map anchors
Clark works well as the central anchor. The county map ties it to US 212, the city index places it near the middle of the settlement pattern, and the elevation image shows it between lower western ground and higher terrain farther east. Following the same place through those views is clearer than treating each image as a separate list.
Willow Lake works as the southern anchor because its name appears in both the city and water images. Raymond adds a western comparison near the denser creek network, while Bradley marks the northern settlement spread. These place-based links make the county easier to remember and help readers choose the view that best answers their question.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Clark 1,359 and Willow Lake 433 current population figures?
No claim of current population is made from those numbers. They are treated only as values printed in the supplied CITY INDEX. Use current U.S. Census Bureau data if present-day population is important.
Why does Willow Lake appear in both the city and water views?
The supplied city index includes Willow Lake as a labeled community, and the terrain-and-water image also labels Willow Lake in the southern part of the county. That makes it a useful cross-map reference.
Can the 421–590 meter range be used for a specific property?
No. The range is useful for broad county-scale comparison. A property-specific elevation should be checked with detailed USGS 3DEP data or professional survey information.
