Ziebach County by land and water

The Census records 9.35 square miles of water within Ziebach County, or 0.5% of its total area. That share is close to Ziebach County’s 0.5%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

The Census boundary meets Corson County, Dewey County, Haakon County, Meade County, Perkins County, Stanley County within South Dakota. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

01

Locate the parcel within Ziebach County
